The Great Compromise was made, because the politicians didn't know what our government plan would be. Although both the New Jersey Plan and The Virginia Plan had three branches of government, (Judicial, Legislature, and Executive) the plans varied on the details of the Legislative Branch. The Virginia Plan stated there would be two houses in Legislature, and the Representatives per state would be based on each state's population. The New Jersey Plan stated there would only be one house in the Legislature, and each state would have an equal number of representatives, to make it fair. But, both sides had very valid points. For the Virginia Plan, they said because they paid more taxes, they deserved more representation. The New Jersey Plan said that because the big states had more representation, the laws would be formed around the same states, and not on the small states opinion as well. The meeting's attendees decided on a compromise. The Legislature would have two houses. The House of Representatives would be based on population, while the Senate would have equal representation for each state. (Two senators per state.) This became our plan of government, which we still use today!
