what kind of national legislature did the constitution created?
bicameral congress
the drafters of the constitution created a bicameral congress primarily as a compromise between those who felt that each state, since it was sovereign, should be equally represented, and those who felt the legislature must directly represent the people, as the house of commons did in great britain. this idea of having one chamber represent people equally, while the other gives equal representation to states regardless of population, was known as the connecticut compromise. there was also a desire to have two houses that could act as an internal check on each other. one was intended to be a "people's house" directly elected by the people, and with short terms obliging the representatives to remain close to their constituents. the other was intended to represent the states to such extent as they retained their sovereignty except for the powers expressly delegated to the national government. the senate was thus not designed to serve the people of the united states equally. the constitution provides that the approval of both chambers is necessary for the passage of legislation.
