The Great Compromise was an agreement made during the Constitutional Convention in 1787 about how states would be represented in Congress. Big states wanted more votes because they had more people, while small states wanted all states to have an equal say. The compromise created two parts of Congress: the House of Representatives (based on population) and the Senate (each state gets two senators). This helped balance power between big and small states.
