The excerpt that reflects the results of the Great Compromise is:

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. — Article I, Section 1

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, established a bicameral legislature, consisting of a Senate (with equal representation for each state) and a House of Representatives (with representation based on population). This excerpt explicitly refers to the structure of Congress, which is a direct result of that compromise.
