Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, resolved a dispute between the larger states, which wanted congressional representation based on population (benefiting them due to their larger populations), and the smaller states, which wanted equal representation for all states regardless of size. The compromise led to the creation of a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate giving equal representation to each state.
