The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was primarily proposed by Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. It established a bicameral legislature, balancing representation between populous and less populous states. Morris, however, was influential in other aspects of the Constitution, particularly in its language and phrasing.
