The solution reached by the Great Compromise was that:

1) The number of representatives from a state in the House of Representatives would be based on a states population.

2) Each state would have two Senators regardless of the states population.

Both elements of this agreement deal with the structure of Congress. Congress consists of the legislative branch of our federal government and plays an important role, as their main job is to develop laws for the entire country to follow. In this case, both states with small populations and large populations feel satisfied with the structure of Congress after the Great Compromise was passed.
