Which house of congress was established to protect small states?
The Senate
Designed to favor small states?
In U.S. history, that would be the New Jersey plan.
Does the make -up of the senate favor large states only?
No, there is an equal number of senators for each state.... 2. They also each hold terms of six years. The house of representatives calculates the number of representatives per state by its population. The reason we have these two legislative houses (meaning we are "Bicameral." Say our congress is bicameral in class and you will sound smart) is to make congress fair for all states. The smaller states favor the senate while the larger states favor the house. -The Senate adds two representatives to the state's number in the House, meaning that the Senate increases small state's power in the Senate moreso than for larger states, because in a state with only 1 representative from population, the 2 would increase its number by 66%, while for a larger state such as california, the bonus is much more negligable.
Who was happier with their representation in the senate small states or large states?
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 smaller populations are better represented in the Senate, where each state is represented equally by two Senators.
How did the large state and small states come to agree on two houses in Congress?
The "Great Compromise" between the large States and Small States was that there would be a Bicameral House. Witch meant that there will be two houses one for the large states and one for the small states. One of the houses was called the Senate and the Other House Of Representatives ( House Of Reps ). The Senate Was giving to the Small States witch was for the equal right they wanted . The House Of Reps Was giving to the big states with gave them what they wanted the votes by population especially with 3% of the slaves they had.
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.
Why was bicameralism chosen as the principle for the US congress?
It was a part of the Great Compromise of 1787 also known as the Connecticut Compromise, when the small states wanted an equal number of representatives from each state and the large states which wanted the number of representatives to be based on population. Therefore the House of Representatives and the Senate were born, with the House of Representatives satisfying the large states and the Senate satisfying the smaller states.
How did the Great Compromise please both small and large 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.
What was the Philadelphia Compromise of 1778?
The small states thought it was going to be unfair if the big states had more representatives than the small ones. The smaller states like Delaware wanted equal representation. The Great Compromise was when the leaders of each state decided to have the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate has equal number of representatives and the House has representatives based on population.
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.
Which compromise was reached by the authors to gain the support of the states with small populations?
Congress would consist of both a House of Representative and a Senate.
