The Connecticut Plan, also known as the Great Compromise, reconciled the differences between the Virginia Plan, which favored larger states with representation based on population, and the New Jersey Plan, which aimed to ensure equal representation for smaller states. It established a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate providing equal representation for each state. This compromise formed the foundation of the U.S. Congress and continues to be used today, balancing the interests of both populous and less populous states in legislative representation.

Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware and West Virginia
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.
