Roger Sherman of Connecticut proposed the Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise) at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The Great Compromise solved the problem of how states would be represented in the national legislature; it called for equal representation in one house of Congress (the Senate) and representation based on population in the other house (the House of Representatives). The other two famous plans at the Convention were the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. The Virginia Plan, which was favored by states with large populations, dealt with the issue of representation by proposing a two-house legislative, in which the number of representatives each state received in both houses depended on its population; and the New Jersey Plan, favored by states with small populations, featured a unicameral legislature, in which each state received one vote.
