The correct answer is:
(Choice 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) resolved the conflict between the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan by creating a two-house (bicameral) legislature: the House of Representatives, where representation is based on state population, and the Senate, where each state has equal representation with two senators.
