The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, resolved the issue of representation in the United States Congress by giving each state an equal number of senators (2) but linking representation in the House of Representatives to population. This compromise allowed for smaller states to have equal representation in the Senate, while larger states would have more representatives in the House.
