Explain how the dispute between the Virginia plan and New Jersey plan was settled?

Answer 1

They were brought together by the great Connecticut compromise, which allowed for the senate to have equal representation through all the states and the house of representatives to be made up of few people and the more people in a state the more representatives they were allowed to have.

Answer 2

It contained a compromise which would appease both larger states and big states. With the Virginia Plan, only big states, such as Virginia and New York, would benefit because they would have a much stronger voice in Congress.

However, with the New Jersey Plan, though every state received equal representation, smaller states, in states with bigger populations the majority of the population would not be represented.

So with the Great Compromise (or the Connecticut Compromise) a bicameral system with both a House of Representatives and Senate was proposed. This way every state received equal representation in the Senate while more actual people received representation in the House. Therefore power was balanced.
