What was the great compromise state about representation in the house of representatives and the senate?
The number of representatives in the House of Representatives for each state depends on the states population. During the Constitutional Congress in 1787, delegates proposed different methods of calculating this number. The final two plans were the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. Each plan had a different way to control the states. The Virginia plan was to have the number of representatives be based on population, while the New Jersey plan was to have the same number of representatives for each state, regardless of population. Since there was the delegates couldn't agree on which method to use, Roger Sherman suggested the Great Compromise, which helped settle this argument/problem. One legislature, the House of Representatives, is based on population. The other legislature, the Senate, is made up of two people from each state.
Why did the Constitutional Convention of 1787 agreed to create a bicameral legislature?

As such, the Senate has an equal number of 2 representatives for each state, and the House of Representatives has a certain number of representatives for each state depending on population.
