What was the agreement during the Constitutional Convention called that established a bicameral legislature?

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was pivotal during the Constitutional Convention because it resolved significant disagreements between states with large populations and those with smaller populations regarding representation in Congress. It established a bicameral legislature, which consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate.

In the House, representation is based on population, addressing the concerns of larger states, while the Senate provides equal representation for each state, appeasing the smaller states’ interests. This compromise balanced the needs of both demographic groups, ensuring that each state had a voice in the legislative process while also allowing for proportional representation based on population, thus creating a more fair and effective governance structure for the fledgling nation. The other agreements mentioned either focused on different aspects of representation or governance and did not specifically create a bicameral legislature.
