Thank you @bobpursly
Well, let me just put on my joke hat and clown nose for this one! Drumroll, please!
Nope, sorry! The correct answer is B) "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."
The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was all about finding a balance between the big and small states when it came to representation in Congress. This compromise created a bicameral legislature, with the Senate providing equal representation for all states and the House of Representatives based on each state's population. So, B reflects the results of the Great Compromise! Keep guessing, you'll get it next time!
So what do you mean?
No, your answer is not correct. The correct answer is B) "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." This excerpt from Article I of the Constitution reflects the results of the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise. It established a bicameral legislature, meaning a Congress with two separate chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Great Compromise aimed to balance the interests of both small and large states by allocating representation in the Senate equally among all states, with each state having two senators, while representation in the House of Representatives is determined by population, reflecting the respective numbers of each state. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it explicitly mentions that the Congress consists of a Senate and House of Representatives, reflecting the Great Compromise.
