History

Aneli [31]3 years ago

The purchase of Alaska was profitable a great deal. First, it must be noted that the purchase was for Geo-political reasons.The actual price was repaid in twenty years through the sale of fur seal skin. In addition, huge deposits of copper,oil and timber hugely exceeded the benefits. currently, it is agreed that the purchase is over 7 times profitable.The fact that the purchase proved profitable implies that the secretary of state was ahead of several of his many critics.

Which house of Congress has the same number of votes no matter what size the state is?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The Senate

Explanation:

In the Sherman Compromise of 1787, it was decided that the House would have proportional representation, while the Senate would have two senators regardless of the state size.

This compromise was significant in that it determined the bicameral  congressional system that we have today.

<u>Prior to the compromise, two plans were proposed:</u>

The New Jersey Plan favored smaller states by proposing equal representation in Congress.

- Smaller States thought they had equal status as a state

On the other hand, the Vlrginia Plan favored more populous states by proposing proportionate representation.

- Larger States thought that it would give citizens of smaller states unfair political influence
