Also known as the "Connecticut Compromise" or "Sherman's Compromise," the Great Compromise was reached during the U.S. Constitutional Convention in the 1787. Like the previous proposals, the agreement allowed for the creation of the two houses of the U.S. Congress. The members in the lower house, the House of Representatives, were to be allotted based on population. Unlike the previous proposals, the members of the upper house, the Senate, were to be allotted not proportionally, but two to each state. The compromise was reached to address the feeling from the smaller states that their interests would be drowned out by the larger states.
