Question

which three choices accurately identify portions of the great compromise ratified at the constitutional convention?
a congress would be in the form of a unicameral structure.
b the senate would be chosen by state legislatures using equal representation.
c all bills initiating taxes or spending would begin in the house of representatives.
d the house of representatives would be elected by the people using proportional representation.
e the house of representative would be divided into districts by the federal courts to apportion members from states.

Explanation:

• Option A: The Great Compromise established a bicameral (two - chamber) Congress, not unicameral. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: Under the Great Compromise, each state has two senators (equal representation) and senators were originally chosen by state legislatures. So B is correct.
• Option C: A key part of the Great Compromise - related legislative process is that revenue - related bills (taxes or spending) must originate in the House of Representatives. So C is correct.
• Option D: The House of Representatives has members elected by the people, and the number of representatives per state is based on population (proportional representation). So D is correct.
• Option E: The apportionment of House districts is done through a process involving the census and state legislatures (not just federal courts) for drawing districts (and the Great Compromise didn't involve federal courts in this way). So E is incorrect.

Answer:

B. The Senate would be chosen by state legislatures using equal representation, C. All bills initiating taxes or spending would begin in the House of Representatives, D. The House of Representatives would be elected by the people using proportional representation
