The deal that created the legislative branch of the United States government is known as the Great Compromise, or the Connecticut Compromise. This agreement was reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, resolving disputes between states with large populations and those with smaller populations by establishing a bicameral legislature. It combined aspects of both the Virginia Plan, which favored representation based on population, and the New Jersey Plan, which called for equal representation for all states. The result was the creation of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
