Answer 1

The correct answer is: It gave each state two senators and a number of representatives based on population.

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was an agreement reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. It created a bicameral legislature, which established the Senate (with equal representation for each state, regardless of population, with two senators per state) and the House of Representatives (with representation based on the population of each state). This compromise helped resolve the conflict between larger states that wanted representation based on population and smaller states that wanted equal representation.
