The great compromise in drafting the new constitution was a plan for states representation in congress.

The great compromise also known as Sherman compromise, the Connecticut compromise, the great compromise of 1787. It was an agreement made between the large and small states which involve how each state would be represented under the constitutions of the United States including the legislature.

The great compromise resulted in the establishment of two chambered of the congress. The house of representatives was also created and it was determined mainly the population of each states.

The bicameral legislature was retained based on the agreement but the upper house was adjusted in order to allow two senators from each state.
