The Great Compromise created a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the House and equal representation in the Senate.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It created a unicameral legislature
• D. It removed representation disputes entirely

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is how the Constitution balanced representation in the new national legislature. The Great Compromise created a bicameral Congress that mixes two approaches: the House of Representatives would base representation on population (proportional), giving larger states more influence there; the Senate would give each state an equal number of votes, with two senators per state, to protect smaller states from being overwhelmed. This combination was designed to satisfy both sides in the original debate between proportional and equal representation. So the statement is true because it accurately describes the structure produced: two houses, with different bases for representation. It’s not a unicameral system, and while the compromise settled a major dispute about how representation should work, it did not eliminate all representation-related disagreements in American politics.
