NOT JOKING
The Great Compromise
(Populated States vs. the Less Populated States)
Perhaps the biggest arguments during the Constitutional Convention came when delegates of the convention argued how representation to the government should be divided between the states. States with large populations wanted to be represented in Congress based on the population of each state. The bigger the population, the more representatives that state sent to Congress. This was known as the Virginia Plan.
The states with smaller populations did not agree. They thought the population should not matter. They thought each state should send an equal amount of representatives to Congress. This was known as the New Jersey Plan.
How the founding fathers settled this argument was called the Great Compromise. They decided that Congress would be divided into 2 chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Each would have a different method to determine how many members from each state would be sent to Congress.
