Answer: A. to satisfy both large and small states and ensure that neither has an unequal level of power.

Explanation:

The Congress of the United States of America is divided into two chambers; the House of Representatives and the Senate; both are in charge of directing the legislative branch.

The Senate, also known as the upper house, is represented by two senators from each state (regardless of the state's population). And, in the House of Representatives, known as the lower house, the number of representatives depends on the population of each state.

This divide is because states with small populations did not want their states to have less power in Congress, and states with larger populations feared they were not well represented.

I hope this information can help you.
