Federalism is the system of government which guarantees each state representation at the national level. Other forms of government include fascism, constitutional monarchy, and republic.
The most serious disagreement in the debate between large and small states at the Constitutional Convention was the issue of representation. Small states feared that their voices would be lost if representatives were chosen based on population, while big states didn't think it was fair that the small states would have as much influence as they had.
The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, established a bicameral legislature in the U.S. Congress. It combined elements from both the Virginia Plan, which favored representation based on population, and the New Jersey Plan, which called for equal representation for each state. As a result, the House of Representatives was created to represent the population, while the Senate was established to provide equal representation, with each state having two senators. This compromise balanced the interests of both large and small states in the legislative process.
At the Constitutional Convention, the delegates agreed to the Connecticut Compromise. The compromise stated that representation in the House would be proportional based on population, and that each state would be represented equally in the Senate.
The Great Compromise settled the dispute of state representation in the U.S. Congress. It was decided that representation in the U.S. House of Representatives would be proportional to population, while representation in the U.S. Senate would be equal among all states.
The first compromise for congressional representation at the Constitutional Convention was proposed by Roger Sherman. This compromise, known as the Great Compromise or the Connecticut Compromise, resolved the dispute between states with larger populations and those with smaller populations by creating a bicameral legislature. In this system, the House of Representatives would be based on population, while the Senate would have equal representation for each state, with two senators per state.
