Correct answer: The Great Compromise established a bicameral legislature, and gave both large and small states a voice in the national government.
Explanation: It reconciled the Virginia Plan (representation by population) and the New Jersey Plan (equal representation), creating two houses: the House of Representatives (seats by population) and the Senate (two senators per state). That balance helped secure agreement among states, protected smaller states’ interests while preserving proportional representation, and made the Constitution acceptable to a broad coalition.
