The excerpt that reflects the results of the Great Compromise is:

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. —Article I, Section 1

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, established the structure of Congress, forming a bicameral legislature consisting of the House of Representatives (with representation based on population) and the Senate (with equal representation for each state).
