Question

what did the great compromise result in?
a. a two - house congress, with
representation in the senate based on
state population
b. a two - house congress, with
representation in the house based on
population
c. a one - house congress, with
representation based on state
population
d. a one - house congress, with states
equally represented

Explanation:

The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise) established a two - house (bicameral) Congress. In the Senate, each state has equal representation (2 senators per state), and in the House of Representatives, representation is based on the state's population.

• Option A is incorrect because Senate representation is equal per state, not based on population.
• Option C is incorrect as the Great Compromise created a two - house, not a one - house, Congress.
• Option D is incorrect as it was a two - house Congress, and the House was based on population while the Senate had equal state representation.
• Option B correctly states that the Great Compromise resulted in a two - house Congress with representation in the House based on population.

Answer:

B. a two - house Congress, with representation in the House based on population
