( How states would be represented in Congress )
The large and small states conflicted during the writing of the constitution on the issue of representatives in Congress. The large states, having a larger population, wanted the number to bo based on state population. Knowing the smaller states would have fewer representatives, the smaller states wanted the number to be equal among all states.
To solve this, the compromise was that House of Representatives, one branch of congress would be on population. The other, Senate, would be equal.
