The Connecticut Compromise was reached at the Constitutional Convention that took place in 1787. It was a compromise regarding the representation each state was entitled to under the US Constitution.
Basically it was a compromise between the larger states that wanted congressional representation to be based on population, and the smaller states that wanted congressional representation to be equal among the states irrespective of population. The compromise resulted in our current form of government with the members of the House of Representatives being apportioned according to population and the members of the Senate being apportioned at two per state.
