In what chamber does each state have equal representation?
In the U.S Senate, each state has two representatives.
Does the senate provide equal representation?
Inequal in representation by population, but perfect in terms of equal representation by State. The big states are equal to the smaller sized states. Bicameral legislatures seem to balance things out quite well.
What called for equal representation in both the senate and the house?
Not EqualFirst of all, the Senate and the House of Representatives are NOT equal. The Senate gives all states only 2 representatives. The House has representatives based on a state's population. This happened because of the Great Compromise of 1787, which was made by Roger Sherman after small and large states had arguments over government state representation.
Uder the Connecticut compromise where did states have equal representation?
States have equal representation in the Senate, where there is a set amount of representatives for each state, rather than a varied number by population.
How did small states want to base representation in Congress?
Small states wanted representation in Congress to be equal for all states regardless of their size or population, because they felt each state was an equal partner in the new nation and feared that they would be outvoted in Congress by larger states if representation were based on population alone. The legislature would consist of two house : a House of Representatives, with membership based based on state population, and a Senate, with each state receiving two members. This agreement became known as the Connecticut Compromise.
