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.
The physical size of states, small or large, was irrelevant.The size of their populations, however, determined their representation in the lower house of Congress. So states with larger populations are better represented in the House, where the number of representatives is apportioned by population, than in the Senate where each state is represented equally by two Senators.
The 'Great Compromise' also known as the Connecticut Compromise, created the House of Representatives and the Senate - the house being represented by population and the Senate equally
The Virginia plan wanted a bicameral legislature, with each state having representation depending on their population. This appealed to the large states but less to the small states, who favored the New Jersey Plan, which provided a single house of goverment with states represented equally, no matter the size or population. In the end, parts of both plan were used under the Connecticut compromise, in which the federal government was bicameral, in with one chamber appointed based on population (the House of Representatives) and the other chamber with every state represented equally.
