What are the advantages of the people of the house of rep and senate?
The advantages of having two houses of congress the Senate and the House of Representatives is that it helps the checks and balances system. It also acts as a compromise between large and small states, and allows for equal representation of each state with two Senators for each state as well as equal representation for each citizen with the number of Representatives for each state in the House of Representatives being decided by the population of each state.
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
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.
