The congressional structure created by the framers of the Constitution was designed to reach a compromise between large and small states. This was achieved through the establishment of a bicameral legislature, which includes the House of Representatives (with representation based on population) and the Senate (with equal representation for each state). This compromise is known as the Great Compromise or Connecticut Compromise, addressing the concerns of both large and small states regarding their influence in the federal government.
