Answer: All the members of the single house are elected by the people.
Context/detail:
The Articles of Confederation, which preceded the creating of the Constitution of the United States, employed a unicameral (single house) legislature. In the end, the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787 decided to go with a bicameral (two-house) legislature as a compromise between small states vs. large states in regard to representation. "The Great Compromise," as it became known, resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states. The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation. The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population. In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators. In the original US Constitution, each state's senators were selected by that state's legislature, not directly elected by the people. The 17th Amendment changed that, so that now US Senators are also directly elected by the people. But we retain the two-house legislature as a way of balancing power between states with high populations and those with lower populations.

The Big Question: Did the goals of American government change from the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution?
Yes, the goals of the Declaration of independence changed to the constitution because the DOI set the ideas of what they wanted a fair government to look like and the constitution outlined it and set it into stone. The constitution is what set our government up for our rights as citizens and the DOI helped it get there. The constitution fulfils the amendments of the Declaration.
Compare and Contrast: The Articles of Confederation, Preambles and Articles I-III and United States Constitution, Preamble
What do these two documents have in common?
They both have laws made by the legislature. They both levy their own militias. They can allow states to levy taxes. One state cannot enter war by itself is under both the constitution and Articles as well.
What makes these two documents different?
The constitution is evolved from the Articles. The Articles only has the congress and the constitution has two. The Articles is a weak set of government ruling and was the original document set up. The advancement of this was through the constitution where we are now allowed to regulate trade, collect taxes, draft soldiers and the constitution is a developed government.
The Declaration of Independence
How does this selection of the Declaration of Independence define the purpose of government in America?
This defines the purpose of the government because people should have their natural human rights, to life, liberty, and property (pursuit of happiness.) The declaration of independence is a strict guideline to the government of the human rights and what is owed to the people of the country and how the declaration of independence is life long lasting rules for our people and should not be changed.
Question 1: Why are governments created and where do they get their powers?
We have governments because they want to maintain social order, have military protection, goods and power to keep citizens safe and have the rights owed to them. We have governments to have happiness, live healthy and have our own opportunities as citizens. They gain power from the people and being voted into the government by popular sovereignty and just powers from the people.
Question 2: When should governments be changed and who should change them?
The government should be altered or changed on a regular basis because things in the country and world are always changing and make former systems better. We need greater changes in our government when our citizens are not safe or are being let down. Our people are not all being treated equal or looked out for their best interests. Everyone should have their rights and this should be changed when the government is not doing the correct government work that is in the best interest for citizens. The people under the government should change who is governing because its the peoples country.
Question 3: Should it be easy to change governments often?
I feel like it should be easy to change a government but not often a direct reasoning and conversation through the people and elected officials as to why this government should be changed and its validity to the people of the country. This needs to be changed for the greater good of the people, economically, socially and politically.

The Articles of Confederation, the USA's first constitution, highlighted several weaknesses in the government, including a lack of a common currency, an inability to impose taxes, and difficulty in passing laws. These issues, coupled with the inability to respond effectively to crises like Shays' Rebellion, led to the Constitutional Convention and the creation of the U.S. Constitution, which granted more balanced powers to the federal government and the states.
The reference to the previous plan of government under the Articles of Confederation could be found in historical documents or academic discussions surrounding its weaknesses, leading to the creation of the U.S. Constitution. The Articles of Confederation served as the first constitution of the United States, adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777 during the American Revolutionary War. It established a weak central government, granting most powers to the states, which led to many issues like a lack of a common currency, inability to impose taxes, and difficulty passing laws due to the need for unanimous approval from all states. Seeing these drawbacks and the inability of the government to adequately respond to crises such as Shays' Rebellion, the leaders of the time convened the Constitutional Convention, which eventually led to the creation of the U.S. Constitution. This new model of governance was much stronger, with a more balanced distribution of power between the federal government and the states.
