Why did the founders want a bicameral legislature?

In the Constitutional Convention there was a dispute between the New Jersey Plan (equal representation despite population) and Virginia Plan (representation based on population).

How does the allocation of representatives differ between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan?

The New Jersey Plan was much like the old Confederation Congress. Each state had one representative. This favored the small states. In the Virginia Plan, representatives were distributed based on population which favored the big states. The Connecticut Compromise was... a compromise. Each state had 2 in the Senate, and representation in the House is based on population. It helped both the large and small states.


The Connecticut compromise the great compromise while the three fifths compromise was called the sectional compromise do you think these are appropriate terms?

Yes, the terms "Connecticut Compromise" and "Great Compromise" are appropriate as they both refer to the same agreement that established a bicameral legislature, balancing the interests of large and small states. The term "Three-Fifths Compromise," often labeled a "sectional compromise," accurately reflects the contentious agreement between northern and southern states regarding the counting of enslaved individuals for representation and taxation. Both terms highlight the compromises made to address differing regional interests during the Constitutional Convention.
