The Great Compromise took the ideas of the Virginia Plan (large state plan) and the New Jersey Plan (small state plan) and created a two house legislature (bicameral). The Senate would be made up of equal number of senators from each state, selected by the state legislatures. The House of Representatives would be elected by the people in each district and state, and based upon population representation. The more people living in the state, the more representatives the state would have. But even small states would be equally represented with the large states in the Senate. A bill would have to be approved by both houses before it became law. And only the House (the most representative of the people) could initiate money bills.

There was no "New Jersey Compromise." It was named for Connecticut. The New Jersey Plan was an alternative representation plan for Congress as it was debated at the Constitutional Convention. Rather than a legislature based on population (the Virginia Plan), it proposed a unicameral legislature with each state being equal with a single representative. Under the "Great Compromise" or Connecticut Compromise, the New Jersey plan became the model for the Senate, and the Virginia Plan for the House of Representatives.
The states were given equil amounts of representation, regardless of the population. That would mean the representation would be based on the individual states, and not the population.
The Connecticut Compromise made a bicameral legislature, combining ideas from the Virginia Plan and New Jersey Plan.
The Connecticut Compromise proposed a bicameral legislature with two senators per state and a House of Representatives based on population.
yes sort of.... it was a compromise in which new jersey plan wanted no population to to with the voting and thevirginia plan did so the compromise had a little bit of the voting having todo with population and a little bit not
OK the great compromises legislature was a two house legislature because they took it from the new jersey plan and the Virginia plan and put them together to make one big legislature.
