What Is The Main Compromise Of The Constitution

One compromise of the constitution was The Great Compromise, or the Connecticut Compromise. The Great Compromise was put into place because the states could not agree upon how they should each be represented in national government. The smaller states did not want representation based on population because they would then have less representatives in government. The larger states believed that because their population was greater they should have more representation for their people. The smaller states favored the New Jersey Plan. The New Jersey Plan stated that each state would get the same number of representatives. The larger states favored the Virginia Plan. The Virginia plan stated that each state would have a different number of votes
