The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, sought to balance the interests of both large and small states. It established a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives favoring large states through representation based on population, and the Senate providing equal representation for all states, thus benefiting small states. Overall, it can be seen as a compromise that included elements from both sides, but the structure of the Senate gave small states a significant advantage in terms of equal representation.
