The Great Compromise
The Great Compromise or Connecticut Compromise was proposed by Connecticut delegate Roger Sherman to combine both the Virginia Plan and New Jersey Plan.
The Great Compromise of 1787 settled the debate on how to choose the number of people representing each state in Congress. Originally, plans were for one house of Congress, but no settlement could be reached among those behind the Virginia Plan, and the New Jersey plan. That is, until Roger Sherman proposed the idea of a two house Congress, using ideas from both plans.

The plan was the Virginia plan
Sherman's plan is referring to a plan created by Roger Sherman, a plan otherwise known as the Great Compromise or the Connecticut Compromise. In colonial times, when states were debating whether representation in the houses should be based on representation (as voted on by the big states) or equally, one vote per state (as voted on by the small states). The Great Compromise called up for a plan with two Legislative Houses, one with representation based on population (thus pleasing the larger states) and the other with representation with one member per state (pleasing the smaller states). :)

Roger Sherman was a key figure in the Great Compromise during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. He proposed a bicameral legislature that combined elements of both the Virginia Plan, which favored representation based on population, and the New Jersey Plan, which called for equal representation for each state. This compromise established the House of Representatives, with representation based on population, and the Senate, with two senators from each state, balancing the interests of both large and small states. Sherman's compromise was crucial in shaping the structure of the U.S. Congress and facilitating the ratification of the Constitution.
