Answer:
The Great Compromise was a compromise between large states and small states on the formation of a new constitution.
Explanation:
After American independence the Articles of Confederation resulted in many challenges in the smooth functioning of the state, and a convention was called to discuss the fomation of a new constitution also known as the Constitutional Convention 1987. Two alternatives were proposed: first was the Virginia Plan, and second the New Jersey Plan. According to the Virginia Plan there would be three branches of government namely legislature, executive and judiciary. Legislature would consist of two houses: upper and lower. And representation in these houses would be based on population. On the other hand the New Jersey Plan also proposed three branches of government. It, however, called for a single house legislature with powers of trade and taxation with each state having one vote. Small states opposed Virginia Plan; Virginia was a large state. Whereas large states opposed the New Jersey Plan; New Jersey was a small state. In the final plan a compromise was reached also known as the Great Compromise. According to the final plan the legislature would consist of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state would have equal members in Senate; in the House of Representatives the member would be based on population. The money bill would originate from House of Representative; this satisfied the large states. This plan also served the interests of small states by giving them more seats in upper house than they could otherwise have.
The 1920s and 1950s are similar in the sense that a new culture emerged. One similarity between these time periods is that they represent the United States emerging from a World War. World War I (1914-1919) and World War II (1939-1945) were two enormous global events that affected American society and alter what culture develops afterwards.
One common culture that developed during the 20's and 50's was consumerism. Consumerism is an social and economic idea that focuses on developing products that will interest the consumer (aka buyer). During both eras, companies began to advertise items in a manner that convinced American citizens to buy them. This rise of consumerism resulted in the increased purchase of items that people wanted, but didn't necessarily need.
Even though most Americans would fall into this category, there were some critics to this consumer culture. During the 1950's the Beatnik generation developed as an anti-conformist culture. Some of them saw capitalism and the increased consumerism in American society as negative.
