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.
