The Connecticut Compromise proposed a bicameral legislature with two senators per state and a House of Representatives based on population.
In the US Congress (not the state legislature) Connecticut has two senators (as does every state) and five Congressmen (Representatives are apportioned by population-- Connecticut is a small state.)
As part of the Connecticut Compromise, also known as the Great Compromise, it was decided that the national legislature would be bicameral, consisting of two houses. The House of Representatives would be based on proportional representation, with the number of representatives from each state determined by its population. In contrast, the Senate would have equal representation, with each state having two senators, regardless of its population size. This compromise balanced the interests of both populous and less populous states in the legislative process.
House of Representatives.
The plan that suggested a two-house legislature in the national government is known as the Great Compromise or the Connecticut Compromise. Proposed during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, it established a bicameral legislature consisting of the House of Representatives, with representation based on population, and the Senate, which would have equal representation from each state. This compromise was crucial in balancing the interests of both large and small states in the formation of the United States Constitution.

Connecticut Compromise
You mean bicameral legislature, and it is a two house system of representation being the house of representatives (the number of representatives here are based on a states population) and the senate (in which every state gets two representatives).
