Under the Great Compromise, the number of representatives in the House of Representatives would be determined by each state's population ?

Yes, under the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, the number of representatives in the House of Representatives is determined by each state's population. Proposed by Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the Great Compromise resolved a significant conflict between the smaller and larger states. The larger states wanted congressional representation based on population, while the smaller states demanded equal representation regardless of size.

The Great Compromise led to the creation of a bicameral legislature, which is a two-house system. This included the House of Representatives, where representation is based on population, and the Senate, where each state has an equal number of representatives (two Senators for each state). In the House of Representatives, states with larger populations have more representatives than smaller states, which is proportional representation.
