In the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 this compromise was put forward to end the conflict between the big states and the small states, It provided for the bicameral legislative branch that we have today, giving the states equal representation in the Senate and proportional representation in the House of Representatives.

The Connecticut Compromise arose from two plans: The Virginia Plan and The New Jersey Plan. The Virginia Plan proposed that the members of the legislature should be allocated by state population and the New Jersey Plan proposed that state legislature seats should be allocated without regard to population, to make it more representative for smaller states. Fusing these two plans, The Connecticut Compromise allocated seats in the Senate equally among states, allowing two Senators in Congress per state while allocating seats in the House of Representative according to population of states, but at least one per state.

The Connecticut Compromise was a compromise to resolve disputes between small states and large states over how they'd be represented in Congress. The result was that Congress would be made up of two houses, one in which each state had an equal number of representatives, and one in which representation varies depending on population.
