Small states wanted representation in Congress to be equal for all states regardless of their size or population, because they felt each state was an equal partner in the new nation and feared that they would be outvoted in Congress by larger states if representation were based on population alone.
The legislature would consist of two house : a House of Representatives, with membership based based on state population, and a Senate, with each state receiving two members. This agreement became known as the Connecticut Compromise.
