Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Connecticut Compromise, also known as the Great Compromise, resolved the conflict between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan by creating a bicameral legislature with equal representation in the Senate (as proposed by the New Jersey Plan) and proportional representation in the House of Representatives (as proposed by the Virginia Plan). This compromised settled the disagreement among members about representation in the national legislature.
