The great compromise.
States have equal representation in the Senate, where there is a set amount of representatives for each state, rather than a varied number by population.
The Connecticut Compromise proposed a bicameral legislature with two senators per state and a House of Representatives based on population.
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).
= (During the Constitutional Convention) The great compromise was a mixture of the Virginia plan which gave states with more population more rep. and the New Jersey plan which gave each state equal votes.

There was no "New Jersey Compromise." It was named for Connecticut. The New Jersey Plan was an alternative representation plan for Congress as it was debated at the Constitutional Convention. Rather than a legislature based on population (the Virginia Plan), it proposed a unicameral legislature with each state being equal with a single representative. Under the "Great Compromise" or Connecticut Compromise, the New Jersey plan became the model for the Senate, and the Virginia Plan for the House of Representatives.
The new Jersey plan and the Virginia plan
The Great Compromise, aka the Connecticut Compromise, used parts of both the Virginia Plan (legislative apportion by population) and the New Jersey Plan (equal representation for each state) by creating a bicameral (two-house) US Congress. The upper house, the Senate, has 2 senators from each state regardless of population, while the House of Representatives is apportioned by state population.
The Great Compromise (decided between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan) and the Three Fifths Compromise (3/5's of slaves are counted in the population [due to the Great Compromise, the number of seats in Congress a state has depends on their population]) led to the US Constitution.
The New Jersey Plan, or the New Jersey Compromise. It stated that each state should have equal number of votes. This compromise was liked by the smaller states, who had less population The Virginia Plan, or the Virginia Compromise, stated that the number of votes each state gets depends on its population. This plan was liked by the bigger states that had more population. Then finally, the Connecticutt Plan. It divided Congress into two parts: *The Senate: two votes for each state (New Jersey Plan) *The House of Representatives: higher population means more votes for the state (Virginia Plan) The Connecticutt Plan is also known as the Great Compromise.
The Connecticut Compromise made a bicameral legislature, combining ideas from the Virginia Plan and New Jersey Plan.
