Question

select all the correct answers.
which two statements describe the compromise on representation?
it was designed to limit federal power and protect individuals rights.
it called for the creation of the senate and the house of representatives.
it was opposed by southern states, which tended to have larger populations.
it proposed a solution to a dispute over legislative seats in small and large states.

Explanation:

The Compromise on Representation (Great Compromise) resolved a dispute between small and large states over legislative representation. It established a bicameral legislature: the Senate (equal representation per state) and the House of Representatives (representation based on population). The first option describes the Bill of Rights, not this compromise, and southern states (often with larger enslaved populations that factored into representation) did not oppose this compromise.

Answer:

• It called for the creation of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
• It proposed a solution to a dispute over legislative seats in small and large states.
