Question

us history

Answer 1

The Great Compromise is also known as the Connecticut Compromise.

Here's the wiki article:

But bascially, the Virginia plan wanted a Legislature (based on population) which favored large states. Then there was the New Jersey plan that wanted a Senate (2 delegates per state) which favored the small states.

So the connecticut compromise combined these two plans and created a bicameral Congress.

Answer 2

each state has say based on population.
