Connecticut Compromise
They were brought together by the great Connecticut compromise, which allowed for the senate to have equal representation through all the states and the house of representatives to be made up of few people and the more people in a state the more representatives they were allowed to have.
The benefits of the Great Compromise led to more equal representation for each state. It gave the smaller states an equal voice to the larger states. However, it allowed for the passage of the Three-Fifths Compromise, which complicated the entire process.
The Missouri Compromise called for any new state north of the 36th parallel (with the exception of Missouri) was to be a free state, and any state south was to be a slave state. This created more tension, however, and eventually led to the American Civil War.

This is because of the Great Compromise which states that the Senate shall be based on equality but the House shall be based on the population of the states.
The Great Compromise, aka the Connecticut Compromise, was the deal reached at the Constitutional Convention dealing with how to have representation in the legislative branch. Big states wanted more seats, so they were for having representation based on how much population a state had. Small states wanted it to be equal. SO, the compromise was to have TWO legislative bodies... now known as the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House is based on population, so it favors big states like California.... The Senate is equal, so small states like Rhode Island are really more powerful in this one.
