In May 1787, delegates from 12 of the 13 states met in Philadelphia at the Constitutional Convention. Their goal was to come up with an outline for the entire government of the United States, and their biggest challenge was representation. Representatives meant the number of people who each stayed in the legislative branch. The large population thought it was only fair that they received more representatives to present their many people. The larger states were represented by Virginia under the Virginia Plan, which called for representation to be based on population. Under the Virginia Plan, states with more people would receive more representatives, and states with fewer people would receive fewer representatives. The states with small populations were worried about being bullied by the largest states. If the representation was based on elections, they would only receive a few Representatives each, and they didn't want to be told what to do, while the larger states, after they had fought so hard for independence from Great Britain, were presented with the New Jersey Plan, which called for equal representation for every state regardless of population.

The plan was named for Connecticut, and it is known as the Connecticut Plan or the Connecticut Compromise. The compromise included the idea of a bicameral legislature, with representation based on population in the House of Representatives and equal representation for every state in the Senate. This compromise was important to the Constitutional Convention because it resolved the conflict between large and small states regarding representation, ensuring that both sides were satisfied and preventing the collapse of the Convention and the Constitution itself.
