How did the great compromise resolve the conflict between states with large populations and states with small populations?

Respuesta :

Answer:  The Great Compromise resolved the dispute of representation of the states (large and small) by creating a bicameral legislature.

Explanation/detail:

The Great Compromise was a measure decided during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
