Context
The Constitution's framers created a bicameral Congress in 1787 as part of the Great Compromise. The House of Representatives reflects population size, while the Senate gives each state equal voice. This structure ensured smaller states would ratify the Constitution by guaranteeing they would not be overwhelmed by larger states in all legislative matters.
