The Great Compromise was proposed by the Connecticut representative to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The Great Compromise decided that representation in the House would be based on population, whereas each state would have an equal number of senators.

The Great Compromise was a solution to the issue of how each state would be represented in Congress. Instead of a unicameral legislature, we would have a bicameral one. This solution was proposed by Roger Sherman of Connecticut. That's why this solution is sometimes referred to as the Connecticut Compromise of 1787.
