The Great Compromise did not create a unicameral legislature; instead, it established a bicameral Congress, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Additionally, it did not resolve the issue of slavery, as it allowed states to count enslaved individuals as three-fifths of a person for representation purposes. Claims that it mandated equal representation for all states in the House are also false, as representation in the House is based on population, while the Senate provides equal representation with two senators per state.
