It was a part of the Great Compromise of 1787 also known as the Connecticut Compromise, when the small states wanted an equal number of representatives from each state and the large states which wanted the number of representatives to be based on population. Therefore the House of Representatives and the Senate were born, with the House of Representatives satisfying the large states and the Senate satisfying the smaller states.
