The proposal you are referring to is the Connecticut Compromise, also known as the Great Compromise, which was reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. It established a bicameral legislature consisting of two houses: the Senate, where each state has equal representation with two senators, and the House of Representatives, where representation is based on population. This compromise balanced the interests of both small and large states in the newly formed United States.

Type your answer here.Which plan called for two houses in the legislature, one where states would have equal representation and one where representation would be in proportion to population..
The three documents that proposed a two-house legislature with the lower house based on population are the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, and the Connecticut Compromise (also known as the Great Compromise). The Virginia Plan, presented by James Madison, advocated for representation in the lower house to be based on state population. The New Jersey Plan countered with equal representation for states but ultimately, the Connecticut Compromise combined elements of both plans, establishing a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the House and equal representation in the Senate.
The Great Compromise solved the problem of representation in the legislature. According to the compromise, the House of Representatives would be based on state population. But each state would have an equal number of votes in the senate.

The Virginia Plan had more influence on the Great Compromise. It proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, which favored populous states. In response, the New Jersey Plan called for equal representation for all states, regardless of size. Ultimately, the Great Compromise blended these ideas by creating a bicameral Congress, with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate providing equal representation for each state.
