Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Connecticut Compromise, also known as the Great Compromise, created a House of Representatives based on population and a Senate in which each state would be equally represented. This compromise helped to balance state powers and national authority in a federalist system. The compromise did not deal with the issue of slavery, as it would not be abolished until the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865.
