The correct choice is: "The Great Compromise established a bicameral legislature, and gave both large and small states a voice in the national government."
Why: At the Constitutional Convention the Virginia Plan favored representation by population (good for large states) and the New Jersey Plan favored equal representation for each state (good for small states). The Great Compromise (Connecticut Compromise) created two chambers: the House of Representatives (representation by population) and the Senate (two senators per state). This balanced the interests of large and small states and made agreement on the Constitution possible.
