The Great Compromise was important because it allowed all the states to have the kind of representation in Congress that they wanted. In the Senate, the states with small populations were equal to the larger states because each state had two senators. The number of representatives that each state had in the House of Representatives was based on the size of the state's population. So each group got part of what they wanted. I think this compromise was very important because there might not have been a Constitution without it. Without the Constitution, I think the country might not have survived as a strong, free nation.

What was the Great Compromise primarily related to?
The Great Compromise, aka the Connecticut Compromise, was the deal reached at the Constitutional Convention dealing with how to have representation in the legislative branch. Big states wanted more seats, so they were for having representation based on how much population a state had. Small states wanted it to be equal. SO, the compromise was to have TWO legislative bodies... now known as the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House is based on population, so it favors big states like California.... The Senate is equal, so small states like Rhode Island are really more powerful in this one.
