The Great Compromise solved the debate created by the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan. The New Jersey Plan was proposed by William Paterson in response to the Virginia Plan. The Virginia Plan wanted Congress to be based on population; states with larger populations would have more representation. Those states with small populations were against this idea. Their solution was the New Jersey Plan, which would give equal representation to all states. Both the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan were not accepted. Instead, the Connecticut Plan, or the Great Compromise, was adopted. This created two branches in Congress. The Senate, which reflected the New Jersey Plan and gave equal representation to all states, and the House of Representatives, which reflected the Virginia Plan and gave representation to states based on population.

What to competing plans did the delegates to the constitutional convention debate?
The two plans proposed to determine congressional representation and debated over at the Constitutional Convention were: The "Virginia Plan" or the "Large States Plan" This plan would benefit the larger states (Virginia, New York, the Carolinas, etc.) by making congressional representation proportional to the state's population. This would enable the more populous states to gain more representation, and thus more power in Congress. The "New Jersey Plan" or "Small States Plan" This plan prevented the smaller New England states from being swallowed by the larger states by making all representation equal. The larger states loudly protested that they deserved more representation, but the smaller states steadfastly refused to budge, and threatened to leave the fledgling union if their demands were not conceded to. The debate was eventually settled by The "Connecticut Compromise" or the "Great Compromise" Proposed by delegate Roger Sherman of Connecticut, this plan proposed a bicameral (two house) legislature. In one house (now the House of Representatives), representation would be based on population, while in the other house (now the Senate), each state would have an equal vote.
