Answer 1

Answer:

A. Smaller states would be represented equally in congress.

Explanation:

Delegates from larger states believed they contributed more to the nation, so they should have greater representation in congress. Small state delegates believed that all states should be represented equally in all ways. They felt threatened by larger states and wanted to be heard as well. Sherman proposed a compromise, that each state would have an equal vote in the senate, except in matters that include money. Each state did not get exactly what they wanted, but they compromised on it.
