We are referring to the important decision known as the Connecticut Compromise or the Great Compromise of 1787. After so much debate, the representants of the small and large states reached an agreement to define the kind of representation each state would have in the new Constitution of the United States and the representation in Congress. The agreement created the lower chamber of Congress or the House of Representatives. The state population would determine the representation of each state in this chamber. The agreement also created the upper chamber with two Senators per state.
