Question

At the constitutional convention (1787), which issue was resolved by the great compromise

Answer 1

The Great Compromise resolved the issue of representation in the United States legislature. Large states wanted greater representation because of their larger population, and smaller states wanted all states to be represented equally. On July 16, 1787, the Great Compromise, also commonly known as the Connecticut Compromise, resolved this issue. It was determined in the Great Compromise that the House of Representatives would have proportional representation based on state size, and the Senate would have two representatives from each state.
