The U.S. Congress represents a compromise between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan through its bicameral structure, established by the Great Compromise (or Connecticut Compromise). The Virginia Plan proposed representation based on population, favoring larger states, while the New Jersey Plan called for equal representation for each state, favoring smaller states. As a result, Congress consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives, where representation is based on population, and the Senate, where each state has equal representation with two senators. This structure balances the interests of both populous and less populous states.
