The Senate is the chamber where each state has the same number of votes no matter how large or small its population.
the house of representatives
House of Representatives.
All states are represented in the House based on population of the state.
1. Legislature is 2 chamber (VA plan) a. Representation in the House of Rep. would be apportioned according to the population of each state (VA plan wanted rep. by population) b. States would be equally represented in the Senate (NJ plan wanted rep equally by state) 2. One president with electoral college
The number of representatives are proportioned according to the population in each state, but at least one representative is allowed for each state.
The Virginia plan wanted a bicameral legislature, with each state having representation depending on their population. This appealed to the large states but less to the small states, who favored the New Jersey Plan, which provided a single house of goverment with states represented equally, no matter the size or population. In the end, parts of both plan were used under the Connecticut compromise, in which the federal government was bicameral, in with one chamber appointed based on population (the House of Representatives) and the other chamber with every state represented equally.
The Connecticut Compromised settled the question of how states would be represented in Congress. The Compromise was that Congress would be made up of two houses, one in which each state was represented equally, and one in which each state was represented according to its population.
anonymous deliversEach state has 2 representatives in the senate, however, in the house of representatives the have representatives based on that states population. Because it is a stateThe Senate gives each state 2 representatives based on the fact that it exists as a separate state inside of the union. Remember each state is represented in our government based on the fact this it is a state (so each state gets 2 senators = 100 senators total at the momet), and based on their population (in the House of Representatives where each state is assigned a certain amount of representatives based on population).
