The compromise was to establish a bicameral legislature, with one chamber for the people and one for the states. In the House of Representatives, people are represented in proportion to their numbers; in the Senate, each state has two senators, regardless of its population.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"activity-name\">\u7b2c353\u671f | \u5b89\u683c\u65af\u00b7\u8fea\u987f\uff1a\u7f8e\u56fd\u6297\u75ab\u4e0d\u529b\u53ef\u8ffd\u6eaf\u52301787\u5e74\u7684\u201c\u5927\u59a5\u534f\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\u5b89\u683c\u65af\u00b7\u8fea\u987f\u00a0<a id=\"js_name\">\u5b9e\u9a8c\u4e3b\u4e49\u6cbb\u7406<\/a>\u00a02020\/7\/24<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mp.weixin.qq.com\/s?__biz=MjM5MTE0MjQ1Nw==&amp;mid=2650323616&amp;idx=1&amp;sn=cdd16cc96956fd8f6303a614f7a0e830&amp;chksm=beb61df689c194e038811671b3da3f5a1b60c82efaf4ee85a9ea2a92c49fc222286367986e34&amp;mpshare=1&amp;scene=1&amp;srcid=0726fnoULu1Uad0OkJvfBG34&amp;sharer_sharetime=1595828620320&amp;sharer_shareid=f14234539e09a08e77a9206f4cc494e3&amp;exportkey=Ahl412i4j0amShJyzGFlp6g%3D&amp;pass_ticket=hXzeql9YIi6ayb48SALbjEx0cXnKnhQMNIj8T%2FLtiNP5YBJfMiYfRpGkJLsAaEzx&amp;wx_header=0#rd\">https:\/\/mp.weixin.qq.com\/s?__biz=MjM5MTE0MjQ1Nw==&amp;mid=2650323616&amp;idx=1&amp;sn=cdd16cc96956fd8f6303a614f7a0e830&amp;chksm=beb61df689c194e038811671b3da3f5a1b60c82efaf4ee85a9ea2a92c49fc222286367986e34&amp;mpshare=1&amp;scene=1&amp;srcid=0726fnoULu1Uad0OkJvfBG34&amp;sharer_sharetime=1595828620320&amp;sharer_shareid=f14234539e09a08e77a9206f4cc494e3&amp;exportkey=Ahl412i4j0amShJyzGFlp6g%3D&amp;pass_ticket=hXzeql9YIi6ayb48SALbjEx0cXnKnhQMNIj8T%2FLtiNP5YBJfMiYfRpGkJLsAaEzx&amp;wx_header=0#rd<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jul 17, 2020\u00a0ANGUS DEATON The lack of a coordinated national response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States has predictably resulted in an unmitigated economic and public-health disaster.
