The delegates resolved the conflict between New Jersey's and Virginia's proposals during the Constitutional Convention by creating a compromise known as the Great Compromise or the Connecticut Compromise. This agreement established a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives based on population (favoring Virginia) and the Senate providing equal representation for each state (favoring New Jersey). This structure balanced the interests of both large and small states, allowing for a more equitable framework for governance.
