Answer 2

Answer:

Under the Great Compromise, the number of representatives in the House of Representatives would be determined by the population of each state.

Explanation:

The Great Commitment of 1787 originated in the creation of legislative bodies. It unified the Virginia Plan that favored population-based representation, and the New Jersey Plan, which listed each state as an equal.

It established a bicameral system: one chamber in favor of the Virginia Plan, the House of Representatives, based on the population of the States, and the other in accordance with the New Jersey Plan, the Senate, by which all States voted in equality.
