The correct answer to replace the question mark in the diagram is **Great Compromise**.
The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was an agreement reached during the Constitutional Convention that established a bicameral legislature, balancing the interests of both the Virginia Plan (which favored larger states with representation based on population) and the New Jersey Plan (which favored smaller states with equal representation).
