jul 16, 1787 - The Great Compromise
Description:
The Great Compromise was then made where in the senate there would be equal representation for each state, where in the House, representation is determined by the population size of each state. This satisfied both sides and it was deemed fair since states occupied by more people would need more people to represent them. It was a compromise to the Virginia and New Jersey Plan.Added to timeline:
