Unlike the Senate where every state receives two representatives, House representation is based on state population. So, more populated states would receive more representatives than less populated states.

The Great Compromise, or the Connecticut Compromise, pleased both the small states and the large states because it gave them both the representation they wanted. In the lower house (the House of Representatives), the small states got the proportional representation they wanted. In the upper house (the Senate), the large states got the equal representation they wanted with every state getting two senators.

Why are there the same numbers in the US Senate for each State?

The bicameral Congress of the United States is a compromise between large and small states. Large states have the advantage in the House because each state's representation is roughly proportional to its population, and small states have the advantage in the Senate because every state has the same representation no matter how large or small it is.


How did the Great Compromise create a legislature with representation which respected the population of large states and safe guarded and equalized the small 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.

Who would have been happier with their representation in the senate small states or large states and why?

The physical size of states, small or large, was irrelevant.The size of their populations, however, determined their representation in the lower house of Congress. So states with larger populations are better represented in the House, where the number of representatives is apportioned by population, than in the Senate where each state is represented equally by two Senators.


How did the great compromise satisfy both the small and the large?

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.
