The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was one
of the most important compromises reached during the drafting of the
United States Constitution in 1787. The delegates were trying to figure
out how each state would be represented in Congress. Delegates from
states with small populations wanted their states to have the same
number of representatives as states with large populations. Otherwise,
they figured, they’d always be in the minority, and would be
under-represented in Congress. So they proposed a system where all
states, regardless of population, would have the same number of
Congressional representatives. This was called the New Jersey Plan.
