The Great Compromise by Roger Sherman put to rest a dispute between small and large states. The larger states felt that since they contributed more in taxes, and citizens, they should have more representation in Congress. The smaller states, on the other hand, didn't think this was fair, and demanded equal representation. It was solved by giving each what they wanted. Representation in the House of Representatives was based on population, while representation in the Senate was based on equality, with each state allowed the same two senators.
