The Great Compromise was a compromise suggested by Roger Sherman, who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. It stated that Congress would have three main branches: Judicial, Executive, and Legislative. It also stated that the Legislative Branch would have two houses, not one, which the New Jersey Plan called for. The two houses were called the Senate and the House of Representatives. Basically, each state got to have two senators in the Senate to represent them, and the number of representatives from each state would be decided on the state's population. The Great Compromise is a compromise that is still in effect today. Hope this helped and have a great day!
