What is the conflict between large states and small states?
how did did the American revilotion start
How did the great compromise solve the problem of the representation in congress?
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.
Is proportional representation used by the House of Representatives?
Yes. As per the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. House of Representatives uses proportional representation. This means states with larger populations have more representatives in Congress.
In which part of congress do the larger states have more power?
In the House of Representatives. Each state has 2 senators in the Senate but a state's representation in the House depends on the size of the population.
How did the delegates to the convention resolve tensions between large and small states?
By making representation in the House of Representatives proportionate to population and representation in the Senate equal for each state
