Describe how the debate over representation lead to the creation of congress?
The debate over representation during the drafting of the U.S. Constitution was primarily driven by differing interests between large and small states. Larger states advocated for representation based on population, while smaller states sought equal representation regardless of size. This conflict culminated in the Great Compromise, which established a bicameral Congress—comprising the House of Representatives, with proportional representation, and the Senate, with equal representation for each state—thus balancing the interests of both factions and leading to the creation of Congress.

I'm assuming you mean in Congress, the only branch where each state is individually represented. Yes, representation in the House of Representatives is based upon population, but there is a fixed number of representatives at 435, meaning that, with changing population, states could lose or gain seats in the House. However, representation in the Senate is equal for all states with 2 senators each. Territories do not have representation in Congress, though Washington, D.C. has a non-voting delegation to Congress.

How does government in us work?
Well, we have three branches: executive branch (president), legislative branch (congress), and judicial branch (court system). We have checks and balances where the branches can veto another branch's power and vice versa. That way, no one branch has more power than the other. The job of the executive branch is to enforce the laws that are passed by congress. Congress (legislative branch) is composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Each state has representation in both houses. In the House of Representatives, representation is based on population. In the Senate, each state has two senators. Congress' job is to make the laws. The judicial branch consists of the courts. Their job is to interpret the laws however they see fit. hope this helps.
