The Great Compromise was a compromise between the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan.
The New Jersey Plan, basically, was for each state to get an equal vote in Congress, while the Virginia Plan, again, briefly, was for each state to get a vote proportional to the amount of citizens living in their state.
