The Constitution is a document, not an event. If you mean what city was the Constitutional CONVENTION held, then the answer is Philadelphia, PA. If you mean what city currently holds the Constitution (like in a museum), then it on display in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Please try and be more clear with your questions, only so that we can give you a correct answer :) ~Karen~
This was a compromise made at the Constitutional Convention to please both large and small states. The Senate is comprised of 2 representatives elected from each of the 50 states, making the 100 senators. The House of Representatives is made from a number of individuals on a basis of population. The House originally had 68 members, but as populations increased, it was increased to 435 members in 1911. Congress then made a law, requiring ONLY 435 total representatives.
The only way to change the US Constitution is for a bill to pass both houses of the legislature by a two-thirds majority in each. Once the bill has passed both houses, it h\goes on to the states.
