The Constitution was a compromise between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Federalists supported a strong central government and the Constitution as it was proposed, while Anti-Federalists favored state sovereignty and were concerned about the potential for government overreach. The resulting compromises included the addition of the Bill of Rights to address concerns about individual liberties and the balance of power between state and federal authorities.

The Great Compromise of the Constitution resulted in new branches of government. These branches are still in use today, they are the legislature, with the two houses.
The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, settled the argument between the large states and the small states during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Large states favored representation based on population, while small states wanted equal representation for each state. The compromise established a bicameral legislature, with proportional representation in the House of Representatives and equal representation in the Senate. This arrangement balanced the interests of both groups and was crucial for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
