Liberty notes Web exclusive The Great Compromise BY JIM JESS O ne key issue that was decided at the Constitutional Convention during the summer of 1787 was how the people would be represented in the national legislature, the Congress. James Madison, of Virginia, who is often referred to as the “Father of the Constitution,” arrived in Philadelphia with a detailed plan for a new constitution. In his plan, Congress would consist of two chambers: an upper chamber, which became the Senate, and a lower chamber, which became the House of Representatives. In Madison’s draft, however, the number of both representatives and senators would be based on population. This was fine for Virginia, Pennsylvania and other states with large populations at the time, but smaller, less populous states objected. They believed their interests would be ignored in a legislature dominated by the largest states. William Paterson, of New Jersey, proposed that each state have the same number of votes in Congress. After a contentious struggle of several weeks, the convention decided that population would be the basis for representation in the House of Representatives and that each state would have equal representation in the Senate. Today, each state has two senators, and representatives are elected from districts based on population. The states with the largest populations have the largest delegations in the House. California, for instance, In the July 2010 issue in “Viewpoint,” [page 5], Georgia EMC President/CEO Paul Wood suggested a program to educate citizens about our Constitution. “Liberty notes,” a regular highlight, will serve to fulfill this mission in the magazine. has 53 U.S. House members, while Georgia has 13. But both states have two U.S. senators.
