At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was proposed to structure the U.S. Congress. This plan established a bicameral legislature, consisting of two houses: the House of Representatives, with representation based on state population, and the Senate, with equal representation of two senators per state. This compromise balanced the interests of both populous and less populous states in the legislative process.
