Why did the framers of the United States Constitution create a bicameral legislature?

Question

There are no deatils.

Answer 1

The Great Compromise:
Originally, there were two plans for the new government. The Virginia Plan held out for a unicameral legislature in which the number of votes each state had was based on the population of the state. The New Jersey Plan also wanted a unicameral legislature, but claimed that each state should have only one vote, as basing votes on population gave the larger states an unfair advantage.

This is where the Great Compromise came in. The two plans were eventually combined so that we now have an upper house--the Senate--in which each state gets the same number of votes, as well as a lower house--the House of Representatives--which follows the Virginia Plan in giving each state a number of votes proportional to its population.

Answer 2

It's a way of splitting power, both as a balance between populous and less populous states, and within the federal government, a way of making legislation less efficient. Inefficiency is a virtue in that the less they can legislate, the less they can screw up your life and business.

Answer 3

There certainly are details if you look for them.

I'll give you a clue. Big states wanted one form of representation and little states wanted another form.

Answer 4

The best guess is that they wanted a maximum amount of representation in the government.
