An example of a compromise that ends with positive results is the Great Compromise of 1787, which resolved the conflict between larger and smaller states over representation in the newly-formed United States Congress. The compromise proposed a bicameral legislature, with one house (the House of Representatives) apportioning seats based on population, and the other house (the Senate) representing each state equally with two seats per state. This compromise ensured that both larger and smaller states had a voice in the legislative process and ultimately helped to ensure the success and stability of the newly-formed United States government.
