Under the great compromise, a bicameral legislature was created with
representation in the upper house (the senate) being based on population and
representation for each state in the lower house (the house of representatives)
being equal for all states.

true
false

The correct answer is false.

It is false that under the Great Compromise, a bicameral legislature was created with representation in the upper house (the Senate) being based on population and representation for each state in the lower house (the House of Representatives) being equal for all states.

Under the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise of 1787, the delegates created two chambers in Congress. But the difference with the above statement is this. The House of Representatives was determined by the state's population, and the Senate -the upper chamber- would have two senators per state.
