 * The Great Compromise **

The only thing that could save the Convention from failure was compromise. Roger Sherman from Connecticut suggested that Congress should be made up of two parts called houses.One of the houses would be the Senate and the other, the House of Representatives .In the Senate each and every state would be represented by two senators.In the Senate, all of the states would be equal in power.In the House of Representatives, the population would determine how many reprasentatives each state had.The Convention finally agreed to Sherman's after a month's discussion. It came to be known as the Great Compromise.
