The Great Compromise of 1787 settled the debate on how to choose the number of people representing each state in Congress. Originally, plans were for one house of Congress, but no settlement could be reached among those behind the Virginia Plan, and the New Jersey plan. That is, until Roger Sherman proposed the idea of a two house Congress, using ideas from both plans.
