The Great Compromise

Explanation:

The Great Compromise was an agreement in 1787, reached between states that are large and small in the United States which determined how the representation of these states would be under the country's legislature and constitution. This has ultimately led to the creation of two-chambered congress that are currently been witnessed in the United States of America and it also made provision for the House of Representative which is determined by the population of states.
