The agreement that compromised between the two sides is often referred to as the "Great Compromise" or "Connecticut Compromise." This was possible due to the need for a balanced representation in the legislature, as larger states favored representation based on population while smaller states sought equal representation. The compromise established a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate granting equal representation to each state, thus addressing the concerns of both sides.
