The Great Compromise addressed the contentious issue of representation by creating a bicameral legislature, combining elements favorable to both small and large states. In the Senate, each state, regardless of size, receives equal representation with two senators, satisfying smaller states. Conversely, the House of Representatives allocates seats based on population, addressing the concerns of larger states. This compromise balanced the interests of both groups, enabling a functional legislative framework.
