A bicameral,two-house,legislature.
Substantive representation is when the legislature advocates for certain groups. These groups can be individuals or any kind of special interest groups.
The states were given equil amounts of representation, regardless of the population. That would mean the representation would be based on the individual states, and not the population.
During the Constitutional Convention, small states wanted equal representation regardless of population size, advocating for each state to have the same number of representatives in Congress. This was exemplified by the New Jersey Plan, which proposed a unicameral legislature with equal representation for all states. In contrast, large states favored representation based on population, as proposed in the Virginia Plan, believing that this would ensure that their larger populations had a proportional influence in the legislative process. This conflict ultimately led to the Great Compromise, establishing a bicameral legislature with both equal and proportional representation.
It should only be capitalized if you are referring to a specific constitution. For example, the U.S. Constitution.
The Constitution established a bicameral legislature, known as Congress, which consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. This structure was designed to balance representation, with the House based on population and the Senate providing equal representation for each state. Congress is responsible for making federal laws, regulating commerce, and overseeing the federal budget, among other powers. This framework aims to ensure a system of checks and balances within the federal government.
