The Great Compromise is a compromise regarding the formation of a new constitution between large and small countries. It solved many problems in the past.  

EXPLANATION

The Great Compromise  is also popularly known as the Sherman Compromise. This compromise happened in 1787. Compromise is an agreement reached during the Constitutional Convention in 1787 between delegations from countries with large and small populations which then determine the structure of the Congress and the number of representatives each country has in Congress based on the United States Constitution.

Problem solved by The Great Compromise  

The biggest debate between the delegates at the time of the Convention centered on how many representatives each country had to have in the making of new government law. So, the Great Compromise was needed to resolve the debate. At the beginning of the Constitutional Convention, the delegates visualized a Congress consisting of only one room with a specific number of rooms and representatives from each country.

The alternative of The Great Compromise  

Under a proposal submitted by a Connecticut delegation named Roger Sherman, Congress will be "bicameral" or a two-chamber with each state getting the number of representatives in the lower house (The House) in proportion to its population and having two representatives in the assembly height (The Senate).

Answer:

The Great Compromise was a compromise between large states and small states on the formation of a new constitution.

Explanation:

After American independence the Articles of Confederation resulted in many challenges in the smooth functioning of the state, and a convention was called to discuss the fomation of a new constitution also known as the Constitutional Convention 1987. Two alternatives were proposed: first was the Virginia Plan, and second the New Jersey Plan. According to the Virginia Plan there would be three branches of government namely legislature, executive and judiciary. Legislature would consist of two houses: upper and lower. And representation in these houses would be based on population. On the other hand the New Jersey Plan also proposed three branches of government. It, however, called for a single house legislature with powers of trade and taxation with each state having one vote. Small states opposed Virginia Plan; Virginia was a large state. Whereas large states opposed the New Jersey Plan; New Jersey was a small state. In the final plan a compromise was reached also known as the Great Compromise. According to the final plan the legislature would consist of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state would have equal members in Senate; in the House of Representatives the member would be based on population. The money bill would originate from House of Representative; this satisfied the large states. This plan also served the interests of small states by giving them more seats in upper house than they could otherwise have.

How did the Industrial Revolution affect workers?
julsineya [31]

The first answer answers only half of it.

True, the Industrial Revolution eliminated many jobs, but in exchange, it brought about new jobs. What does this mean? It means that the types of jobs migrated from one sector to another, resulting in new people into the economy or people who lost their jobs in certain areas to migrate to the new industries, which in this case is the manufacturing industry.

The Industrial Revolution brought about many changes for the common worker. First, it offered set wages, which was much more steady than turning a profit with crops, and was received regularly, sometimes daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly. Second, it brought about a common work schedule. People were expected to go to work at 7 and come off at around 5, depending on the area as well as industry that they were working at. The third was that it created a sense of close-knit community, which allowed them to get to know each other better and be able to band together for change if needed. This is extremely important, as previously people typically lived in large expanse of land (as more land and helping hands typically meant more money earned because of the large production of crops. This also meant they rarely see others frequently). Third, it created the groundwork to making rights for individuals on not only the industry level, but also on a national level. The Industrial Revolution saw the creation of workers guilds and labor unions, which were a collection of workers in similar industries that had enough power to demand change with their employers, which led to a series of fights in between owners and workers, either physically, legally, or anything in between. Finally, the Industrial Revolution laid the groundwork for the middle class to start and expand, defined by owning a house or apartment, having a job, and raising a family (in most cases). This definition changes with time, and especially during the period surrounding World War II.

The Industrial Revolution affected workers by changing the focus of the ordinary American citizen from farming either food crops or cash crops for profit and meal, to working in manufacturing and a wage. Especially in the North, the creation of the IR and factories led to mass production of necessities and discretionary items that ease the way of life for the working middle class. In the end, the Industrial Revolution truly revolutionized America, and set her up on the road to becoming a global economic power, which, combined with being able to change their economic model into a militaristic model, and winning two world wars, set her up to become a world superpower.
