The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was created during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 to address the issue of representation in Congress. It established a bicameral legislature, consisting of the House of Representatives, where representation is based on population, and the Senate, where each state has equal representation with two senators. This compromise balanced the interests of both populous and less populous states, ensuring fair representation for all.
