What state's plan called for equal representation in the legislative body based on population?

The state's plan that called for equal representation in the legislative body was Virginia. This plan was known as the Virginia Plan.

In states with a low population, members of the House of Representatives are chosen in the districts. This is to create a balance in the legislative representation.

It was the Virginia Plan, written by James Madison, that called for representation based on a state's population. Smaller states were opposed to the plan.

The Great Compromise settled the method of representation in the legislative branch (the US Congress). Small states wanted equal representation (equality by state), and large states wanted representation based on population (equality by vote). Under the compromise, all states were represented equally in the Senate. This made the smaller states happy. In the House of Representatives, representation was based on population. This pleased the bigger states.

It proposed a bicameral legislative branch. The upper house, the senate, would have two representatives from each state. This satisfied the small states' plea for equal representation in Congress. The lower house, The House of Representatives, would please the large states in the way that state representation in the House was based off population. Larger states had more representation in the House, but representation was equal in the senate.

Type your answer here.Which plan called for two houses in the legislature, one where states would have equal representation and one where representation would be in proportion to population..

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.

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.

apportioned population of the states

Sherman's plan is referring to a plan created by Roger Sherman, a plan otherwise known as the Great Compromise or the Connecticut Compromise. In colonial times, when states were debating whether representation in the houses should be based on representation (as voted on by the big states) or equally, one vote per state (as voted on by the small states). The Great Compromise called up for a plan with two Legislative Houses, one with representation based on population (thus pleasing the larger states) and the other with representation with one member per state (pleasing the smaller states). :)

according to the population of states

He thought that states should have representation by size and population.

It balances out the legislative power. During the conception of the Constitution there was a dispute among smaller states and larger states concerning legislative representation. Smaller states feared larger states would eventually overpower smaller states so they wanted equal representation for each state, while larger states supported the idea of representation proportional to a state's population. Therefore a compromise was created in which Congress would consist of two houses, the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives would consist of members from each state, proportional to the population of a state, and the Senate would consist of an equal two senators from each state.

No, the Virginia plan called for representation by population. This put Virginia at a huge advantage (being one of the most heavily populated states) while giving states such as Rhode Island almost no representation.

Small states wanted equal representation (equality by state), and large states wanted representation based on population (equality by vote). ... In the House of Representatives, representation was based on population.

With regard to representation in the House of Representatives, states are represented according to their populations. Representation in the Senate is based on 2 delegates per state, regardless of population.

By the population of the state. The greater the population the more representatives.

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. the New Jersey plan had 3 branches (legislatiure, Execultive, judiceal) the legislature is a unicameral(one house) it was proposed by William Patterson this plan was liked by the small population but rejected by the large population states

The Senate is to provide states equal representation -- there are two senators from each state. The House of Representatives is to provide representatives proportionate to population -- states with greater population have more representatives than states with smaller populations. (However gerrymandering prevents these representatives from representing the general population.)

The Great Compromise, aka the Connecticut Compromise, was the deal reached at the Constitutional Convention dealing with how to have representation in the legislative branch. Big states wanted more seats, so they were for having representation based on how much population a state had. Small states wanted it to be equal. SO, the compromise was to have TWO legislative bodies... now known as the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House is based on population, so it favors big states like California.... The Senate is equal, so small states like Rhode Island are really more powerful in this one.

The Virginia plan called for representation based on population. Virginia was one of the largest states at the time.

the new jersey plan was an idea for equal representation with all states .it was rejected. because states have representation based on population tis novel idea was probally favored by the smaller, less populated states.....<3...rock on! sewnheartX

The Virginia Plan was based on population, while the New Jersey plan gave all states equal legislative representation. The small states could have been effectively stymied by control of the more populous states under the Virginia plan. The compromise was to form a bicameral Congress with one chamber using a form of each of the plans: the House of Representatives with proportional representation and the Senate with equal representation.

States have equal representation in the Senate, where there is a set amount of representatives for each state, rather than a varied number by population.
