A movement passed to have equal representation in the house of representatives.

Explanation:

This was a movement passed to have equal representation in the House of Representatives. While the senate has representation from each state based on the population of that state, Roger Sherman moved to have equal representation from each state. At the time, one person would represent each state, but it later changed to two people and today, two people per state sit in the House of Representatives.
