the states population and that slaves would count as 3/5ths a person
The compromise proposed by southerners that influenced the Great Compromise is known as the "Three-Fifths Compromise." This agreement determined that for purposes of taxation and representation, enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person. This compromise helped balance the interests of slaveholding states and free states during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. It played a crucial role in shaping the legislative structure of the United States.
The plan that called for equal representation in Congress is known as the New Jersey Plan. Proposed during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the New Jersey Plan advocated for a unicameral legislature in which each state would have equal representation, regardless of size or population. This was in contrast to the Virginia Plan, which proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population. Ultimately, the compromise reached was the Great Compromise, which created a bicameral legislature with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate with equal representation for each state.
Proposed by Roger Sherman, the Conneticut Compromise was for the government to be made up of two houses (bicameral), the senate, and the house of representatives. - By Kylie Taylor Carmen-
crittenden compromise
The Great Compromise was significant in that it established how our legislature is set up to this day. Originally it was intended to be one body, but large states like Virginia wanted representation based on population, whereas smaller states like New Jersey wanted representation based on the same number of delegates, regardless of population. The Great Compromise proposed having both, setting up our legislative bodies.
This representation would be based upon population.
The Great Compromise of 1787 (or Sherman's Compromise) was proposed by Roger Sherman. The Compromise was an agreement that defined the representation of each state in Congress/the House of Representatives.
Conneticut Compromise
The Great Compromise solved the problem of representation in the legislature. According to the compromise, the House of Representatives would be based on state population. But each state would have an equal number of votes in the senate.
The three-fifths compromise was proposed as a way of counting slaves for the purpose of representation in the House. The northerners didn't want them to get more representatives because of so many non-voting people.
The Connecticut Compromise proposed a bicameral legislature with two senators per state and a House of Representatives based on population.

The Great Compromise
The compromise proposed by southerners that influenced the Great Compromise is known as the "Three-Fifths Compromise." This agreement determined that for purposes of taxation and representation, enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person. This compromise helped balance the interests of slaveholding states and free states during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. It played a crucial role in shaping the legislative structure of the United States.
The two house legislature was proposed by the Great Compromise/Connecicut Compromise. The Plan that recommended representation be determined by population was Virginia Plan, because they had a very large population, so a legislature based on population would give Virginia a lot of influence in the new nation.
