The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which balanced the needs of both large and small states. It established a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate granting equal representation to each state with two senators. Additionally, the Three-Fifths Compromise addressed the issue of slavery by counting three-fifths of the enslaved population for taxation and representation purposes. These compromises were crucial in facilitating the ratification of the Constitution by addressing the diverse interests of the states.
