Who wrote the Great Compromise?
Roger Sherman
The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was written by Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth, two delegates from Connecticut, during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The Great Compromise resolved the dispute between small and large states over representation in the legislative branch of the United States government. The compromise proposed a bicameral legislature with the House of Representatives being based on population and the Senate having equal representation for each state. This compromise played a crucial role in the drafting and adoption of the United States Constitution.
