James Madison initially objected to the Great Compromise because he believed it undermined the principle of proportional representation, which he argued was essential for a fair and effective government. He felt that the Senate's equal representation of states, regardless of population, would disproportionately empower smaller states and lead to unequal influence in the legislative process. I understand his concerns about representation, but I believe the compromise was necessary to ensure the participation of smaller states and to create a functional government that balanced various interests.
