The Connecticut Compromise -Apex
The compromise offered a bicameral legislature with equal representation in the Senate and representation based on population in the House of Representatives- giving shared power to both large and small states in the new government.
The Connecticut Compromise (Also called the Great Compromise) settled the arguments between the two sides as the Constitutional Convention. It was a good even between the New Jersey and Virginia Plan, but more so favored the Virginia Plan. It included that the House of Representatives would have proportional representation, and that the Senate would have equal representation.
The Great Compromise settled the dispute of state representation in the U.S. Congress. It was decided that representation in the U.S. House of Representatives would be proportional to population, while representation in the U.S. Senate would be equal among all states.
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.
Constitutional convention deadlocked over the issue of representation. The delegates did not seem to agree on the selection of representatives to the Congress.
