Question

Why was the compromise creating a two-house chamber (the House of Representatives and the Senate) to balance the needs of smaller and larger states the best solution? Explain what the compromise gave the small states, what it gave the large states and how a bill becomes a law.

Answer 1

The compromise created two legislative chambers to assuage the fear of domination that smaller states had.  It also provided equity for larger states.

• The compromise that created the bicameral Congress enabled states to be represented equally (by two members) in the Senate and in the House of Representatives, according to their population.

• A bill requires a simple majority of  votes to pass in the two chambers.  

• Then, the bill is officially presented to the President for assent.  If assent is given, the bill becomes a law.  

• If the bill is vetoed, it returns to Congress.  Thereafter, the bill can become a law if the presidential veto is overridden with 2/3 votes in both chambers.

Thus, the Compromise effectively and suitably balanced the representation needs of smaller and larger states.
