taxes

representation

delegaton

Explanation

The central dispute between large and small states was how each state would be represented in the national legislature. Large states wanted representation based on population, while small states wanted each state to have an equal vote. The compromise created a House based on population and a Senate with equal representation, so the correct choice is representation.
