The current bicameral structure of the US Congress is a direct consequence of
which of the following

• Compromise between poor and rich states
  Compromise among elites from small and large states
  All choices are correct
  compromise between the north and south

The bicameral structure of the US Congress emerged from the Great Compromise of 1787, which sought to balance the interests of both small and large states. Smaller states demanded equal representation in the Senate, while larger ones preferred representation based on population in the House. This agreement ensured that each state had a voice, fostering a delicate equilibrium among the diverse interests of the nation.

Additionally, the framers of the Constitution understood the importance of compromise to unify a fledgling country. By integrating different forms of representation, they aimed to address not just the rivalry between rich and poor states, but also the sectional interests of Northern and Southern states, ensuring that all regions could voice their concerns in the legislative process.
