Small States Large States Congress ? Equal Representation Representation based on population

The Debate * Virginia Plan- stated that representation in Congress be based on the state’s population. Favored the larger states.

House of Representatives -based on a state’s population (large states). Senate -each state two Senators, which would give states equal representation CT Plan HR = Senate Great Compromise Sherman
