The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was a compromise reached during the Constitutional Convention in 1787. It resolved the dispute between small and large states regarding representation in the legislative branch. The Great Compromise created a bicameral legislature, consisting of two houses: the Senate, where each state would have equal representation, and the House of Representatives, where representation would be based on a state's population. This excerpt reflects the establishment of a Congress with both a Senate and House of Representatives, which is the key outcome of the Great Compromise.
The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was an agreement reached during the drafting of the United States Constitution in 1787. It resolved the disagreements between the states over the structure of the legislative branch and the representation of states.
To determine which of the excerpts reflects the results of the Great Compromise, we need to understand what the Great Compromise entailed. Under the Great Compromise, the Congress was to be bicameral, meaning it would consist of two separate legislative bodies: the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The excerpt that reflects the results of the Great Compromise is:
"All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." — Article I, Section 1
This excerpt explicitly mentions that the Congress consists of a Senate and House of Representatives, which aligns with the result of the Great Compromise.
The other excerpts mentioned in the question address different aspects of the legislative branch, such as the apportionment of representatives and taxes among the states (Article I, Section 2, Clause 3) and the composition of the House of Representatives (Article I, Section 2, Clause 5). While these excerpts are also important aspects of the Constitution, they do not specifically mention the structure of the Congress as the result of the Great Compromise.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
"All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." — Article I, Section 1
