The Great Compramise
Viriginia plan
large states (large population) wanted the number a representatives to be determined by the population while small states (little population) wanted the number of representatives to be the same for every state. The compromise was to create the senate (2 representatives per state) and the house of representatives (representatives determined by population)
The Great Compromise addressed the issue of representation in the legislature. New Jersey favored a set number of representatives regardless of population. Virginia favored a population based system. The Great Compromise established a two body Legislative Branch of Federal government.
The number would be determined by the population of each state.
The number would be determined by the population of each state.
The Connecticut compromise is the same exact thing as the great compromise its just another name for it. so the Connecticut compromise/ the great compromise is when the larger states wanted the representatives to be determined on population and the smaller states wanted the representatives to be determined on equality/ equal amount of people on each side for representatives. so they came up with The House of Representatives and the Senate to solve the problem. The great compromise solved a lot of problems and issues that people had.

Great Compromise
In the Constitutional Convention there was a dispute between the New Jersey Plan (equal representation despite population) and Virginia Plan (representation based on population). In response, Sherman and Johnson created the Connecticut Compromise (or Great Compromise) in which there would be a Senate (2 reps per state) and a House of Representatives (representatives based on population).
This representation would be based upon population.
