Correct answer:
- The Great Compromise established a bicameral legislature, and gave both large and small states a voice in the national government.

Explanation:
- It created two chambers: the House of Representatives (representation by population, benefiting large states) and the Senate (equal representation, two Senators per state, protecting small states). This compromise resolved the dispute between the Virginia Plan (large-state advantage) and the New Jersey Plan (small-state equality).
