The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was created during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 to address the issue of representation in Congress. It established a bicameral legislature, consisting of the House of Representatives, where representation is based on population, and the Senate, where each state has equal representation with two senators. This compromise balanced the interests of both populous and less populous states, ensuring fair representation for all.
It solved the problem of representation in congress because the house of representatives was based on proportional representation (# of representatives based on population) which made the larger states happy and the Senate was based on equal representation (each state got two representatives) which made the small states happy. So each state was represented.
What problem? When? The question is unclear.
Well i would have to say representation in congress..... but i can't say im correct.
Representation in congress.
It gives us a visual representation of the ratios.

I believe Henry Clay and Congress got together and tried to improve things
Albert Einstein meant that in order to solve a problem, you need to think differently than how you did when the problem was created.
the way to do it is X2 - Bsqaure - 1x then divide by 234.5 then you will have your answer. Good day :)
The Great Compromise solved the debate created by the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan. The New Jersey Plan was proposed by William Paterson in response to the Virginia Plan. The Virginia Plan wanted Congress to be based on population; states with larger populations would have more representation. Those states with small populations were against this idea. Their solution was the New Jersey Plan, which would give equal representation to all states. Both the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan were not accepted. Instead, the Connecticut Plan, or the Great Compromise, was adopted. This created two branches in Congress. The Senate, which reflected the New Jersey Plan and gave equal representation to all states, and the House of Representatives, which reflected the Virginia Plan and gave representation to states based on population.
The Great Compromise addressed the issue of representation in the legislature. New Jersey favored a set number of representatives regardless of population. Virginia favored a population based system. The Great Compromise established a two body Legislative Branch of Federal government.
Those representives are elected by the people and are assumed to do the work of the people when elected. If they do not do so or the people feel they did not do so they are not re-elected.
