How did the Great Compromise combine the Virginia and New Jersey plan? -

The Virginia Plan, or the large state plan, proposed that each state would have a number of votes based on the population. The New jersey Plan, or the small state plan, asked for an equal number of representatives regardless of the population of the state. Obviously, smaller states would benefit from the small state plan and vice versa for the larger states. The Great Compromise combined the two plans by creating a House of Representatives which drew representatives from each state based from the state s population and the Senate which consisted of two elected senators from each state, regardless of the population. Both the House of Representatives and the Senate took action in politics and both the small and large states were satisfied, hence the Compromise
