The great compromise was the Constitutional Convention's agreement to establish a two-house national legislature,with all states having equal representation in one house and each state having representation based on its population in the other house.
The larger states would have an advantage in the House of Representatives, where representation was to be based on population.
The smaller states would be protected in the Senate, where each state would have equal representation.
One House (the House of Representatives) has representation based upon population. The other House (the Senate) has equal representation
If it wasa bigger state then the representative was based on population. If it was a smaller one then 2 representatives were chosen for each state for congress.
The Great Compromise tried to satisfy both states so each state never got exactly what they wanted they got some and they lost some so it was a win win.

The main focus of the Great Compromise at the Constitutional Convention concerned how states were to be represented in the U.S. Congress. It is also referred to as Sherman's Compromise.

Roger Sherman created the Great Compromise! :)
Roger Sherman of Connecticut worked out a compromise that he hoped would satistfy both small and large states.
The Great Compromise, or the Connecticut Compromise, pleased both the small states and the large states because it gave them both the representation they wanted. In the lower house (the House of Representatives), the small states got the proportional representation they wanted. In the upper house (the Senate), the large states got the equal representation they wanted with every state getting two senators.
The Great Compromise involved both houses of Congress. It based the number of representative in the House of Representatives on population and the number of Senators on a set number per state. It was a compromise between the large states and small states.
The Great Compromise allowed the framers of the Constitution to create a Congress that would represent both large and small states fairly. It is also known as the Connecticut Compromise.
