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.

Larger states should have more representatives in congress.
The Great Compromise resolved the dispute over the New Jersey and Virginia plans. The Virginia Plan wanted representation to go by population. The House of Representatives resolved this issue, using population to determine how many representatives a state would receive. The New Jersey Plan wanted equal representation for all states. The Senate resolved this issue by allowing the same number of representatives to all states, regardless of their size.
Virginia Plan - Each state receives a certain number of representatives based on population. New Jersey Plan - Each state receives an equal number of representatives. Nowadays, the senate is based on the New Jersey Plan and the House of Representatives is based on the Virginia Plan.

The Virginia Plan wanted representation based on the population of a state. The New Jersey Plan wanted to all states to have the same number of representatives no matter the size of the state or it's population.

The differences between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan were settled through the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise. This agreement, reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, established a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the House of Representatives (reflecting the Virginia Plan) and equal representation in the Senate (reflecting the New Jersey Plan). This compromise balanced the interests of both larger and smaller states, allowing for a more unified framework for the new government.

The reason for the bicameral legislature dates back to when The Constitution was written. The New Jersey plan wanted every state to have an equal vote, which favored small states. The Virginia Plan called for representatives, with more populated states getting more representatives. In Congress, the Senate is the New Jersey Plan and the House of Representatives is, obviously, the Virginia plan. I'm not sure, but I believe we elect both.
