You're very welcome. :-)
The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was suggested during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in the United States. It was proposed as a solution to the heated debate between the larger states, who wanted representation in Congress based on population, and the smaller states, who wanted equal representation for all states.
To determine who suggested the Great Compromise, we need to consider the key figures involved in the Constitutional Convention. James Madison, often referred to as the "Father of the Constitution," played a significant role in drafting the United States Constitution. While he made substantial contributions to the convention, it was actually Roger Sherman who proposed the Great Compromise.
Roger Sherman, a delegate from Connecticut, put forth the idea of a bicameral (two-house) legislature. His proposal provided for one house, the Senate, where each state would have equal representation, and another house, the House of Representatives, where representation would be based on the state's population. This compromise effectively resolved the conflict between the large and small states.
Therefore, the correct answer to your question is a. Roger Sherman.
