Looking at the modern day statistics do you think it was wise of the framers of the constitution to have two legislative bodies
(senate/house of representatives) to represent the people of each state? Explain why or why not? What problems could you see if we only had the senate? What problems could you see if we only had the house of representatives?
If there was only one house of representatives the smaller states will have less representation.
Explanation:
The original model of the house of representatives was taken from Britain. There are two senators per state and then there is the house of representatives where the number of members depends on the population of the state.
If the senate is removed, there will be less representation for the smaller states and thus there will be a chance they can be cornered.
The issue with this, is that constitutionally, all states are to be equal in the eyes of the federal government in the Federation.
Industrial weapons contributed to staggering casualties and the western front was forced to use trench warfare. In order to prevent a two-front war, General Alfred von Schlieffen drew up a master plan calling for an all-out attack against France.
