The Great Compromise, which resolved the issue of representation, is also called the Connecticut Compromise. It combined elements of the Virginia Plan (which favored larger states and representation based on population) and the New Jersey Plan (which favored smaller states and equal representation for all states). The compromise created a bicameral legislature with equal representation in the Senate for all states and proportional representation in the House of Representatives based on population.
