Under the constitution of 1789, states received the same number of senators but a variable number of representatives based on population size. which selection below was true under the articles of confederation? select one: a. each state was allotted one vote, regardless of size b. there was a tricameral legislature c. gerrymandering rendered the legislative process ineffective d. each state was given votes based solely on their size

According to the US Senate website, the correct answer is "A. each state was allotted one vote, regardless of size".

There was a debate around the compromise of the Constitution. First, some believed each state's representation should reflect their size. Later, other debated that the representation should be determinated on the number of free slaves and citizens each states had. But larger states complained, justificating that they required a greater say in government since they contributed more to the nation's defensive and financial resources than smaller states.

Small states then demanded equal representation in Congress, which was guaranteed under the Articles of Confederation.

A because each state was allotted one vote, regardless of size

the answer is prolly b
