2. tyranny of the chief executive: what if there was no legislative branch and the president had the

power to both make laws and enforce laws?

this could be a problem because:

a u.s. citizen has to have lived in and been an american citizen for a year or more be for he or she can vote for presidential or country wide elections. they also have to register to vote. if the voting is for state representatives or issues, they have to have lived in that state for one month or more and meet the requirements for country wide elections.

since our new president elect donald trump is about to come into office, and since he is stating diferent signs about enforcing immigration laws, he has persuaded people into beliving that immigrants are the reason for crime & terrorism (of course thats only an example, there are many more reasons why but you probably get my idea).

the great compromise was the deal of how representation for each state in congress as written in the constitution worked. small states such as new jersey wanted each state to have an equal amount of representatives regardless of their population. bigger states such as virginia wanted each state to have representation based solely on their population. the compromise itself states there would be a senate (equal representation for each state) and a house of representatives (representation based on population).

due to this explanation, i don't really think you could say small states and large states gave up something specifically. you could say the small states gave up their want for each state to have an equal amount of representatives regardless of their population, and you could say the large states gave up their want for each state to have representation based solely on their population, but technically the great compromise worked it out really well!

or in shorter terms how they would be represented in congress.
