The delegates to the Constitutional Convention faced difficulties compromising on the issues of slavery, representation, and balance of power.

Consequently, the authors of the Constitution of the United States established a bicameral legislature (representation), issues of slavery and balance of power primarily because they reached a compromise between the large states and the small states over representation. This compromise between the large states and the small states was known as the Connecticut Compromise reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787.

The Federalists refers to a group of people who were keenly interested in the ratification of the federal constitution of the United States of America in 1787. They unanimously believed and agreed that the Articles of Confederation wasn't adequate or sufficient enough to enhance good governance and serve the needs of the United States of America and as such required a new government having greater powers at the national level.

Some of the notable members of the Federalists were Benjamin Franklin, George Washington etc.

Additionally, a bicameral legislature can be defined as a legislative body that comprises of two chambers (houses); upper chamber and lower chamber. The upper chamber or house consists of senators while the lower chamber consists of house of representatives.
