Unicameral and Bicameral house
The Great Compromise which made two houses of Congress where one was represented by population (House of Representatives) and an equal representation (Senate) to create a double house system
They are different states.
In the Constitutional Convention there was a dispute between the New Jersey Plan (equal representation despite population) and Virginia Plan (representation based on population). In response, Sherman and Johnson created the Connecticut Compromise (or Great Compromise) in which there would be a Senate (2 reps per state) and a House of Representatives (representatives based on population).
The New Jersey Plan was much like the old Confederation Congress. Each state had one representative. This favored the small states. In the Virginia Plan, representatives were distributed based on population which favored the big states. The Connecticut Compromise was... a compromise. Each state had 2 in the Senate, and representation in the House is based on population. It helped both the large and small states.
Yes, the terms "Connecticut Compromise" and "Great Compromise" are appropriate as they both refer to the same agreement that established a bicameral legislature, balancing the interests of large and small states. The term "Three-Fifths Compromise," often labeled a "sectional compromise," accurately reflects the contentious agreement between northern and southern states regarding the counting of enslaved individuals for representation and taxation. Both terms highlight the compromises made to address differing regional interests during the Constitutional Convention.

The Connecticut Compromise -Apex
The Connecticut Plan, also known as the Great Compromise, reconciled the differences between the Virginia Plan, which favored larger states with representation based on population, and the New Jersey Plan, which aimed to ensure equal representation for smaller states. It established a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate providing equal representation for each state. This compromise formed the foundation of the U.S. Congress and continues to be used today, balancing the interests of both populous and less populous states in legislative representation.
The Connecticut Compromise (Also called the Great Compromise) settled the arguments between the two sides as the Constitutional Convention. It was a good even between the New Jersey and Virginia Plan, but more so favored the Virginia Plan. It included that the House of Representatives would have proportional representation, and that the Senate would have equal representation.
It was called the Connecticut Compromise. In 1787, at the Constitution Convention, this compromised was reached in which a bicameral legislature was accepted, where there would be a Senate and a House of Representatives.
