The statesmen Roger Sherman (1721-1793) created the Compromise for the Constitution by creating the Connecticut Compromise. The compromise was based on combined proposals from the Virginia plan and the New Jersey plan. He determined the legislative structure and representation of each state under the U.S. Constitution and based the representations in the House of Representatives on population, while each state would have an equal two senators in the Senate.
According to his Great Compromise, there were two national legislatures in Congress, while the members of the House were elected by each state’s population.
