How was the structure of congress agreed upon?
The structure came about through what is called "The Great Compromise". At first everyone thought of Congress as a single body instead of two as it is today, because that us how the Continental Congress was during the Revolutionary War. In the discussion of representation in Congress the larger states wanted representation based upon population. (The so-called Virginia Plan). The smaller states wanted representation to be the same for all states, large or small. (The so-called New Jersey Plan). Neither side would budge from their positions fearing they would be dominated by the others. The result was The Great Compromise, in which the two bodied (bi-cameral) Congress would be created with members of one house being chosen by representation and members of the other being equal. Then everyone was a little happy, but they were able to move on to ratification.
