It was written for the Senate and the House of representatives.
The delegates agreed that congress was to be divided into two houses, with representation in the first, the House of Representatives, determined by population, and all states having two representatives in the second house, the Senate.
In 1787, the delegates agreed that congress was to be divided into two houses: The House of Representatives - representation determined by population (called the lower louse) The Senate - all states having two representatives (called the upper house) This system still occurs today.
The Great Compromise of 1787 set up the system of each state having two senators and a state's population determining the number of representatives. The compromise came after a large debate at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The debate centered on how many representatives each state should have in the new government's lawmaking branch, the U.S. Congress.
Under Franklin's leadership, the convention appointed a "grand committee" to try to resolve their disagreements. Roger Sherman of Connecticut suggested the Great Compromise. which was a two-house legislature, in the lower house- the house of representatives- the number of seats for each state would vary according to the states population. The upper house- the senate- each state would have 2 representatives
This was the Connecticut Compromise.The Connecticut Compromise was an agreement reached in 1787. It was passed by large and small states reached during the Constitutional Convention. It defined the legislative structure and representation that each state would have under the US Constitution. Each state would have 2 representatives in the Senate, and in the House of Representatives, the number of seats would depend on population.
The agreement under the Great Compromise of 1787 was that all states would be equally represented in the Senate and they would be proportionally represented in the House of Representatives. This system still occurs today as each state is represented by two Senators and the numbers of House of Representatives is chosen by the population of the state.
