A). How to determine membership in the senate

The country was divided on how each state would be represented in Congress. The smaller states, for the most part, wanted each state to have equal representation, and bigger states wanted it to be based off of population. The Three-fifths compromise made it so that each state would have equal representation in the House of Representatives (2 per state), but also population based representation in the Senate (1 Senator per district of each state).
