how did the connecticut compromise settle the conflict between the new jersey and virginia plans

The Connecticut Compromise, also known as the Great Compromise, was a pivotal moment in the drafting of the US Constitution. It addressed the major point of contention between:

The Virginia Plan: Backed by large states like Virginia, it called for a bicameral legislature with representation in both houses based on population. This meant states with more people would have more say in the government.

The New Jersey Plan: Supported by smaller states like New Jersey, it proposed a unicameral legislature where each state had an equal vote, similar to the Articles of Confederation.
