In the House, it was based on Population of Citizens as established by the Constitution.
The House of Representatives is based on population and is proportional.
I'm assuming you mean in Congress, the only branch where each state is individually represented. Yes, representation in the House of Representatives is based upon population, but there is a fixed number of representatives at 435, meaning that, with changing population, states could lose or gain seats in the House. However, representation in the Senate is equal for all states with 2 senators each. Territories do not have representation in Congress, though Washington, D.C. has a non-voting delegation to Congress.
The Great Compromise :D
because the number of representatives that a state would have both houses of congress would be based on that state's population. states with more people would have more votes in congress. this plan would have more favor the large States,
one vote per state
Northern states felt that representation in Congress should be based on the number of free people. Southern states believed that representation should be based on total population, which included slaves.
Representation should be determined by population. While the New Jersey plan proposed representation would be equal for all states. :)
The Senate is the house of Congress that is based on equal representation. The House of Representatives is numbered based on the population of the state but the Senate has equal representation for even states with a lower population.

yes
The House of Representatives.
hehehe
It solved the problem of representation in congress because the house of representatives was based on proportional representation (# of representatives based on population) which made the larger states happy and the Senate was based on equal representation (each state got two representatives) which made the small states happy. So each state was represented.
The representation was based on the states population and the amount of money it gave to support the central government.
The number of representatives is based upon the population of each state. In addition, each state, regardless of size, has two senators.
