A major challenge for the delegates is how to devise a system of representation that will work effectively over country of such vast size. There is no model to follow in the 18th century. Madison and other large-state delegates want representation in both houses apportioned on the basis of population or population and wealth. Small state delegates argue for the right of equal representation. The delegates debate for weeks, and more than once the Convention seems in danger of collapsing before the critical decision is made on July 16th.
