What two proposals were combined to create the great compromise?

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, combined the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. The Virginia Plan proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, favoring larger states. In contrast, the New Jersey Plan called for a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state, benefiting smaller states. The compromise established a bicameral legislature with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate providing equal representation for all states.
