Detailed explanation-1: -The Great Compromise settled the method of representation in the legislative branch. Small states wanted equal representation, and large states wanted representation based on population (equality by vote). Under the compromise, all states were represented equally in the Senate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Their so-called Great Compromise (or Connecticut Compromise in honor of its architects, Connecticut delegates Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth) provided a dual system of congressional representation. In the House of Representatives each state would be assigned a number of seats in proportion to its population.
Detailed explanation-3: -The compromise provided for a bicameral legislature, with representation in the House of Representatives according to population and in the Senate by equal numbers for each state.
