Does the senate provide equal representation?
Inequal in representation by population, but perfect in terms of equal representation by State. The big states are equal to the smaller sized states. Bicameral legislatures seem to balance things out quite well.
What states were allies in 1778 at the constitutional convention?

Compromises of constitution?
There was conflict between the least populated states and greatly populated states in terms of representation. If too much representation was given to the big states, the smaller states there would be an imbalance of power. In addition to this, there was also conflict between those who wanted slaves to count for representation power. The result of that conflict was the Three-Fifths Compromise. In many senses, the constitution was a compromise on many fronts.

What was the Great Compromise primarily related to?
The Great Compromise, aka the Connecticut Compromise, was the deal reached at the Constitutional Convention dealing with how to have representation in the legislative branch. Big states wanted more seats, so they were for having representation based on how much population a state had. Small states wanted it to be equal. SO, the compromise was to have TWO legislative bodies... now known as the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House is based on population, so it favors big states like California.... The Senate is equal, so small states like Rhode Island are really more powerful in this one.
How would the Virginia Plan help?
The Virginia Plan basically was the idea that representation should be based solely on population. While this would be great for the largely populated big states, small states like Delaware and New Jersey would receive far less representation in Congress.
What was sherman's plan for the federal constitution?
Sherman's plan is referring to a plan created by Roger Sherman, a plan otherwise known as the Great Compromise or the Connecticut Compromise. In colonial times, when states were debating whether representation in the houses should be based on representation (as voted on by the big states) or equally, one vote per state (as voted on by the small states). The Great Compromise called up for a plan with two Legislative Houses, one with representation based on population (thus pleasing the larger states) and the other with representation with one member per state (pleasing the smaller states). :)
