Question

In Congress under the Articles of Confederation each state got... A. 3 votes. B. A number of votes based on population. C. 1 vote. D.a number of votes based on the states wealth.

Answer 1

Answer:

Under the Articles of Confederation, each state, regardless of population size, got C. 1 vote. This plan disgruntled large populous states, as they believed they needed more votes to reflect their larger populations, while the smaller states supported it, because their voice was on par and not silenced by the larger states.

The plan was replaced by the New Jersey Plan, which instituted two branches, the Senate, and the House of Representative, which compromised between the two ideas. In the Senate, each state only gets 2 votes, while in the House of Representatives, the number of seats given to each state is based on the amount of population each state has. States can lose or gain seats based on population shifts, and census is taken every 10 years for this.
