The first compromise for congressional representation at the Constitutional Convention was proposed by Roger Sherman. This compromise, known as the Great Compromise or the Connecticut Compromise, resolved the dispute between states with larger populations and those with smaller populations by creating a bicameral legislature. In this system, the House of Representatives would be based on population, while the Senate would have equal representation for each state, with two senators per state.
