Question 5 • EA Academy Civics 9

Based on the text, how did the framers resolve their debate over representation?

Answer
A
They created a bicameral legislature to balance popular and state interests.
B
They created a unicameral legislature that favored popular interests.
C
They created a unicameral legislature that favored state interests.
D
They created a bicameral legislature that favored state interests over popular interests.

Explanation

The framers disagreed over whether representation should reflect each state’s population or give states equal influence. They resolved this with a bicameral legislature: representation in the House is based on population, while each state has equal representation in the Senate. This balanced popular and state interests, as choice A describes.
