Detailed explanation-1: -The Connecticut Compromise was an agreement that large and small states reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that in part defined the legislative structure and representation that each state would have under the United States Constitution. The legislature would have two houses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Introduced to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, James Madison’s Virginia Plan outlined a strong national government with three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. The plan called for a legislature divided into two bodies (the Senate and the House of Representatives) with proportional representation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Virginia Plan, drafted by James Madison and introduced to the Convention by Edmund Randolph on May 29, 1787, proposed the creation of a bicameral national legislature, or a legislature consisting of two houses, in which the “rights of suffrage” in both houses would be proportional to the size of the state.

Detailed explanation-4: -This was how the Providence Convention of 1776-77 was summoned. Who gets the credit for calling the most important convention of all-the gathering that drafted our U.S. Constitution? Writers most often claim that the Confederation Congress did, citing its resolution of February 21, 1787.

Detailed explanation-5: -In a speech on 18 June, Alexander Hamilton proposed a very powerful national government. Hamilton, who said his proposal was not a plan, essentially believed that both the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan were inadequate, particularly the latter.
