The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was a pivotal agreement reached during the 1787 Constitutional Convention. It proposed a bicameral legislature, combining the Virginia Plan's representation based on population in the House of Representatives and the New Jersey Plan's equal representation in the Senate. This compromise helped to balance the interests of both populous and less populous states, enabling the formation of the United States Constitution.
