Listen "Episode 8: The Essential Senate"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the American Founding, Dr. Cost discusses the "Great Compromise" at the Constitutional Convention that led to the United States Senate. The delegates at the Convention decided on a House apportioned by population while each state would have an equal share in the Senate. This compromise was necessary in 1787 and remains essential today, Dr. Cost argues, because a republic as large as the United States must account for geography.
