Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Prior to the compromise, two plans were proposed:

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

Answer 2

The Senate.

In the Senate all states get equal representation regardless of their size.
