To address the first question, the Great Compromise during the Constitutional Convention addressed the issue of congressional representation.
To delve deeper into this, the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was held to create a new framework for the U.S. government. One of the major issues that arose was the debate over how representation in Congress should be determined. Some delegates favored the Virginia Plan, which proposed representation based on population, while others supported the New Jersey Plan, which advocated for equal representation for each state.
To resolve this dispute, the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was proposed by Roger Sherman of Connecticut. It successfully reconciled these differing viewpoints. The Great Compromise established a bicameral legislature with two houses: the House of Representatives, where representation is based on population, and the Senate, where each state is represented equally with two senators. This compromise ensured that both large and small states had a voice in the legislative process.
Moving on to the second question, the part of the U.S. Constitution that can never be amended is the equal representation of each state in the Senate.
The process of amending the U.S. Constitution is outlined in Article V of the Constitution. Most parts of the Constitution can be amended through the proposal and ratification process. However, there are certain provisions that are considered to be "unalterable" or "immutable."
One of these unalterable provisions is the equal representation of each state in the Senate. This provision is stated in Article V itself, which stipulates that "no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate." This means that any attempt to change the equal representation of each state in the Senate would require the consent of the affected state. As a result, this provision is effectively immune from amendment unless all the states agree to a change in this fundamental aspect of the Senate's structure.
It's important to note that the Bill of Rights, the location of the national capital, and the number of members in the House of Representatives are not considered to be unamendable provisions. While the process of amending the Constitution is intentionally difficult, these aspects can be altered if the necessary steps outlined in Article V are followed.
