The Connecticut Compromise
Roger Sherman, Connecticut delegate to the Constitutional (Philadelphia) Convention, proposed a hybrid of the New Jersey and Virginia Plans that allowed for legislative representation based on population in the Lower House of Congress (the US House of Representatives) and by equal number in the Upper House (the Senate).
The Compromise was adopted by a vote of five states to four on July 16, 1787, and is credited with rescuing the convention and motivating the other delegates to create compromises resolving many other conflicts between the states.
