The correct answer is:
**C** a bicameral legislature, featuring a lower house based on population and an upper house where each state had two votes.
The Connecticut Compromise, also known as the Great Compromise, established this structure as a way to satisfy both the larger states (which favored the Virginia Plan's population-based representation) and the smaller states (which favored the New Jersey Plan's equal representation).
