The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was a pivotal agreement reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. It established a bicameral legislature, combining elements of the Virginia Plan, which favored representation based on population, and the New Jersey Plan, which called for equal representation for each state. This compromise resulted in the creation of the House of Representatives, with representation based on population, and the Senate, with two senators from each state, thereby balancing the interests of both large and small states.
