The compromise that combined elements of the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan is known as the Great Compromise or the Connecticut Compromise. Proposed by Roger Sherman, it established a bicameral legislature with a House of Representatives based on population (reflecting the Virginia Plan) and a Senate with equal representation for each state (reflecting the New Jersey Plan). This compromise helped to balance the interests of both large and small states during the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
