Answer 1

Answer:

. c) It established different principles for determining representation in each chamber of Congress.

Explanation:

Prior to the Connecticut compromise, the representation for each states in chamber of Congress was divided equally.

Many people at that time believed that this method is unfair since more representatives are needed as the population of the states increases. The Connecticut compromise changed the old method and make the representation in the chamber of congress become proportionate to the number of citizens in the states.
