The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, proposed by Roger Sherman, was finally accepted after Benjamin Franklin suggested that all funding bills should originate in the lower house (House of Representatives), which was more directly representative of the population. This provision was aimed at appeasing those who were concerned that smaller states would have too much power in the new government structure.
