July 1787 CE

The committee submits its report, which becomes the basis for the “Great Compromise" of the Convention, on July 5.

The report recommends that in the upper house each State should have an equal vote and in the lower house, each State should have one representative for every forty thousand inhabitants, counting slaves as three-fifths of an inhabitant, and that money bills should originate in the lower house (not subject to amendment by the upper chamber).
