The Great Compromise overcame the obstacle of state representation by establishing a unicameral Congress, with representation ba
sed on population. a unicameral Congress, with an equal number of representatives from each state. a bicameral Congress, with representation in one house restricted to large states. a bicameral Congress, with representation in one house based on population.
The prefix "bi-" means two, so Congress is bicameral because it has both the Senate and the House of Representatives. In the Senate, each state has the same number of representatives, and in the House, the number of representatives is in proportion to the population of the state.
