"The compromise is that each the number of representatives a state has is not based on size but population, so that large states don't "gang up" on smaller states just because they have more power."

∙ 11y agoThe Virginia Plan contributed to the general makeup of our US Congress: two chambers. The VA Plan also required population-based representation- the more people in a state, the more representatives they should have. The New Jersey Plan wanted equal representation in the Congress for all states because there were more small states. Roger Sherman of CT solved the problem, with Benjamin Franklin's covert approval, by proposing that the US House follow the VA plan and the Sebnate follow the NJ Plan.

How did the great compromise solve the problem of reprentation in congress?
The Great Compromise solved the debate created by the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan. The New Jersey Plan was proposed by William Paterson in response to the Virginia Plan. The Virginia Plan wanted Congress to be based on population; states with larger populations would have more representation. Those states with small populations were against this idea. Their solution was the New Jersey Plan, which would give equal representation to all states. Both the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan were not accepted. Instead, the Connecticut Plan, or the Great Compromise, was adopted. This created two branches in Congress. The Senate, which reflected the New Jersey Plan and gave equal representation to all states, and the House of Representatives, which reflected the Virginia Plan and gave representation to states based on population.
