The compromise between the big states and small states during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 resulted in the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise. It established a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives based on population (favoring larger states) and the Senate providing equal representation with two senators per state (favoring smaller states). This arrangement balanced the interests of both groups, allowing for a fair representation in the new government structure.
