Great Compromise
The name of the agreement between small and large states that provided proportional representation by population in the lower house and equal representation by state in the Senate is the Great Compromise.
The correct answer is the "Great Compromise." To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options by understanding their definitions and historical context.
Firstly, the Great Awakening was a period of religious revival in the American colonies during the 1730s and 1740s. It was not related to any agreement between small and large states.
Secondly, the New Deal refers to a series of economic and social reforms implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s as a response to the Great Depression. It also has no connection to the agreement between small and large states.
Lastly, the Electoral College is a body of electors established by the United States Constitution to formally elect the President and Vice President. While it does involve the allocation of votes based on state populations, it does not provide proportional representation in the lower house and equal representation in the Senate, as stated in the question.
Therefore, the correct answer is the "Great Compromise." It was also known as the Connecticut Compromise and was reached during the drafting of the United States Constitution in 1787. It established a bicameral legislature, with proportional representation by population in the lower house (the House of Representatives) and equal representation by state in the upper house (the Senate).
