History

Correct answer (as highlighted in the choices shown):

<h2>Representation in the two legislative houses.</h2>

Explanation:

The Great Compromise was a measure decided during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  It resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.

The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature, with different rules for representation in each chamber. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.

Explain the idea of 'western bias'...<br><br><br>Thanks in advance! :)
cricket20 [7]

The concept of 'Western Bias' is the Eurocentric perspective of the west towards other continents such as Africa where in the western view they tend to feel as a more superior race thus creating a bias on how they view the continent. The idea developed due to the historical, political, and military dominance of the West. This was exemplified by historical writers and western philosophies such as Hobbes, and Machiavelli who developed concepts of realism while Locke & Smith developed liberalism.

Why did members of the 3rd estate dislike the king and queen?
Lemur [1.5K]
Members of the 3rd Estate in France had all sorts of reasons to dislike the king and queen -- King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette -- in the days leading up to the French Revolution.  Let me count the ways (well, a few of them):
1. Louis XVI was not a kingly figure.  He preferred to be out in the woods hunting or at a workbench taking apart a clock than doing the tasks of royal government.  He wasn't the sort of person to inspire the confidence of the people in him.
2. Marie Antoinette was an Austrian princess, and the French people despised the Austrians. France and Austria had been enemies for years, and this attempt to bring the two countries together through a marriage wasn't popular with the people.
3. Louis and Marie had sex problems.  You'd think that would be a private matter, but when you're the king and queen it's your job to produce an heir to the throne, and they weren't managing to do that.
4. Both Louis and Marie spent way too much money -- money that came from the taxpayers (the members of the 3rd Estate).  Louis spent it on the lavish palace life of Versailles and on wars.  (His government had given a huge loan to the Americans to help them fight vs. Britain.)  Marie spent money on frills and dresses and jewelry and whatnot.
5. They didn't seem to know the people's situation or care about them much. They didn't want to be bothered with concerns about the poor people of France.

I could keep counting more ways, but that's enough for now!
