In the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 this compromise was put forward to end the conflict between the big states and the small states, It provided for the bicameral legislative branch that we have today, giving the states equal representation in the Senate and proportional representation in the House of Representatives. The Connecticut Compromise arose from two plans: The Virginia Plan and The New Jersey Plan. The Virginia Plan proposed that the members of the legislature should be allocated by state population and the New Jersey Plan proposed that state legislature seats should be allocated without regard to population, to make it more representative for smaller states. Fusing these two plans, The Connecticut Compromise allocated seats in the Senate equally among states, allowing two Senators in Congress per state while allocating seats in the House of Representative according to population of states, but at least one per state.
The issue of representation led to the Connecticut (or great) compromise.
The State of California became a free State when the Compromise of 1850 was passed.
The bicameral Congress of the United States is a compromise between large and small states. Large states have the advantage in the House because each state's representation is roughly proportional to its population, and small states have the advantage in the Senate because every state has the same representation no matter how large or small it is.
The compromise of 1820 allowed the state of Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state in exhange for Maine entering as a free state. The compromise also stated that any state west of the Mississippi River would enter as a free state.
The elements are that a war went on and other stuff
Yes. Two plans were put forth during the Constitutional Convention to create the new branches of government.The Great Compromise combined these two plans creating our current legislature with two houses, one based on population and elected by the people and the other house allowing two senators per state being appointed by state legislatures.
One of the most important compromises is the Great Compromise. It was a compromise between two plans pushed forward; the Virginia plan and the New Jersey plan. The Virginia plan wanted representation in congress to be based off of states population. The New Jersey plan wanted equal representation for each state no matter the size. Ultimately the great compromise combined both of these plans and set up what we know today as the House of Reps. and Congress. One based on population of each state, and the other based off of two senators per state appointed by state legislatures.
Without them, the small States would have carried little responsibilities in the new government
The Great Compromise combined the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. The Virginia plan was to have Representatives in the government according to population. The New Jersey plan was to have each state represent themselves in the government. That is how we have a bicameral government today. Each state has two senators and House of Representative members according to the districts the state contains, which is divided by population.
By the Virginia and New Jersey Compromises combined together to make the Great Compromise that gave 2 reps to each state for the Senate and population determined how many reps each state had for the house.

Each state only has 2 senators. Representatives are based on population. This is as a result of the Big state/ Small state compromise when the Constitution was drafted.
The agreement made in the Great Compromise was that the American government would agree to have two houses of Congress. These houses were the Senate of each state and the House of Representatives.
to please the the small states,each state would have two seats in the upper house,or senate.State legislatures would choose senators,who would serve six-year terms. The Great Compromise was a vital stepin creating a new Constitution.Now,small-state delegates were willing to support a strong central government
The Great Compromise took the ideas of the Virginia Plan (large state plan) and the New Jersey Plan (small state plan) and created a two house legislature (bicameral). The Senate would be made up of equal number of senators from each state, selected by the state legislatures. The House of Representatives would be elected by the people in each district and state, and based upon population representation. The more people living in the state, the more representatives the state would have. But even small states would be equally represented with the large states in the Senate. A bill would have to be approved by both houses before it became law. And only the House (the most representative of the people) could initiate money bills.
