The Connecticut Compromise, also known as the Great Compromise, was an agreement reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that established the structure of the United States Congress. The key parts of the Connecticut Compromise included:
1. **The House of Representatives would have its members elected based on population.**
2. **Each state would have two representatives in the Senate.**
3. **Congress would have two houses that both had to pass a given law.**
The other points you mentioned (the President's veto power, the counting of enslaved individuals, and the appointment of ambassadors) are not specifically parts of the Connecticut Compromise itself, although the counting of enslaved individuals was addressed in the Three-Fifths Compromise, and the President's veto power is part of the broader Constitutional framework established by the Constitution.
