The small states thought it was going to be unfair if the big states had more representatives than the small ones. The smaller states like Delaware wanted equal representation. The Great Compromise was when the leaders of each state decided to have the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate has equal number of representatives and the House has representatives based on population.
