William Paterson, a New Jersey representative, proposed the "New Jersey Plan" as a way to provide fair representation of people of each state to Congress. Eventually, his plan was incorporated in the formation of the bicameral Congress, where every state has two Senators in the senate. The Three Fifths (Virginia) plan was an alternative, which counted Blacks as three-fifths of a person (whites counted as one) for purposes of representation. At the time, the northern states had a larger population and the southern slave owners were concerned about representation. Was he happy about the compromise? I could not find a specific comment, but in terms of today's politics, he did get some of what he wanted for the people of his state and of the country that was formed.
No.
James Madison, often referred to as the "Father of the Constitution," played a crucial role in the development of the Great Compromise during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Although he was from Virginia, another prominent figure in this process was William Few, a delegate from Georgia. Few advocated for a balanced representation between large and small states, which helped shape the compromise that established a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the House and equal representation in the Senate.
