The Great Compromise, reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, established a bicameral legislature, creating the House of Representatives and the Senate. In this system, members of the House are elected directly by the people, with representation based on state populations, while each state has two senators, elected by state legislatures. The President is elected through an Electoral College system, where electors are chosen by the states based on their congressional representation. This compromise aimed to balance the interests of both populous and less populous states in the federal government.
