What was the resolution for the Connecticut Compromise

The Connecticut Compromise (also known as the Great Compromise) resolved a dispute over representation between large-population states and small population states. It created a bicameral legislature with different rules for representation in each chamber.

Explanation/detail:

The Great Compromise was a measure decided during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787. The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states. The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. (This was the essence of the Virginia Plan.) The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation. (This was the New Jersey Plan.)

The Great Compromise (aka Connecticut Compromise) created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature, with different rules for representation in each chamber. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population. In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
