Connecticut Compromise

Presented by Roger Sherman at the constitutional convention. The Connecticut compromise is also known as the Great Compromise. This compromise was brought up to give equal representation for the states, no matter the size, and it let states have representatives based on population in the house of representatives. This allows the states to have their people vote on whom to represent them of national issues. This is a quote during the creation of the compromise, "the small ones w[ould] find some foreign ally of more honor and good faith, who will take them by the hand and do them justice." It is stating the the small would act better if they had equal say. This compromise gave equality to states for the senate.
