Northern states felt that representation in Congress should be based on the number of free people. Southern states believed that representation should be based on total population, which included slaves.
States with the most number of slaves!
States with a large number of slaves.
The Representation Compromise gave both large states and small states the type of representation they asked for. This was done by changing the representation standards in the houses of Congress. Large states had wanted representation based on population. This standard was accepted in the House of Representatives, which allowed the number of representatives to be determined by state population. Smaller states wanted equal representation, despite population size. This was accepted by the Senate, in which all states have the same number of representatives.
Representation should be determined by population. While the New Jersey plan proposed representation would be equal for all states. :)
