there were 2 proposed plans that dealt with representing the population in congress. the Virginia plan proposed deciding the number of reps by population of the state. the New Jersey plan proposed having 1 representative per state. the great compromise created 2 houses of congress: the senate and the house of representatives. the senate was to have 2 reps per state. the house was to have its reps based on the population of each state.

representation in Congress
The issue of representation led to the Connecticut (or great) compromise.
The Great Compromise, reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, resolved the conflict between states favoring equal representation and those advocating for representation based on population. It established a bicameral legislature, consisting of the Senate, where each state has two senators regardless of size, and the House of Representatives, where representation is based on population. This compromise balanced the interests of both large and small states, ensuring fair legislative representation and facilitating the creation of the U.S. Constitution.
The Great Compromise was proposed by the Connecticut representative to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The Great Compromise decided that representation in the House would be based on population, whereas each state would have an equal number of senators.
