The Great Compromise created the bicameral legislature of the United States Congress of which the House of Representatives is one of the two houses. Each state is represented in the House of Representatives by a number of representatives proportional to the size of the state. All bills concerning finance or taxation must begin in the House of Representives; however, it is considered to be subordinate to the Senate.
Smilin Zack is incorrect: one is the minimum number of representatives per state.
