No. The "Connecticut Compromise" used aspects of both the Virginia (large state) Plan and the New Jersey (small state) Plan and created a bicameral legislature.
The members of the US House of Representatives are elected directly by the people they represent. Senators were originally selected by state governments or governors, not by popular election. Since the founders were concerned to assure the clear consent of the people for taxation and money expenditures, they wrote the Constitution to require that money bills originate in the House, the part of the federal legislature that was closest to the people.
