What would happen if you divide Congress into two parts or houses, so that in one house, each state would have one representative, and in the other house, each state would have representatives based on its population?
To balance the interests of both the small and large states, the Framers of the Constitution divided the power of Congress between the two houses. Every state has an equal voice in the Senate, while representation in the House of Representatives is based on the size of each state's population.
