Answer:

Those states with the most people would have the most representatives. States with small populations wanted each state to have the same number of representatives, like under the Articles of Confederation.

States with a larger population would have had the most representatives if only the free population had counted

  • At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, an assertion was raised over the legislative branch which is the Congress of the proposed new government.
  • This is the sector of government that has the power of making ordinances for the nation.
  • States with large populations needed the number of representatives in the House of Representatives which is one of the two houses of Congress to be established on the size of a population of a state.
  • Those states with abundant people would have the maximum representatives.
  • States with small populations needed each state to have the exact number of representatives, according to the Articles of Confederation.
  • This argument kept going for two months and on the edge, the deputies approved the "Great Compromise." One branch, the House of Representatives, would be dependent on population and another, the Senate, would be given two members from each state.
