US Senate - The Divisive & Decisive Clash over Elections, Voting & Terms

Patriot Lessons: American History and Civics (Constitution, Declaration of Independence, etc.)

Learn how the composition of the US Senate - who and what it should represent - became perhaps the most divisive issue in the Constitutional Convention. Discover the arguments made by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, James Wilson, John Dickinson, Roger Sherman, and others as they clashed over a fundamental division about whether the States should be equally be represented in the Senate or should be represented in proportion to their populations. Explore how the number of Senators - and how they vote - was determined. Uncover why the term of the office was set at 6 years.
