The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, established a bicameral legislature in the U.S. Congress, balancing the needs of both small and large states. It created the House of Representatives, with representation based on population, and the Senate, with equal representation of two senators per state. This compromise was crucial in ensuring broader support for the Constitution, allowing for a more equitable system of governance that addressed the concerns of diverse states while facilitating effective law-making. Ultimately, it laid the foundation for the structure of Congress as we know it today.

One of the most important compromises is the Great Compromise. It was a compromise between two plans pushed forward; the Virginia plan and the New Jersey plan. The Virginia plan wanted representation in congress to be based off of states population. The New Jersey plan wanted equal representation for each state no matter the size. Ultimately the great compromise combined both of these plans and set up what we know today as the House of Reps. and Congress. One based on population of each state, and the other based off of two senators per state appointed by state legislatures.
