As you just read, the Founders came up with a constitution that included a legislature with two parts. Using what you know about large states and small states, explain why the US Constitution is often called "the Great Compromise."

The US Constitution is often called "the Great Compromise" because it made both the big states and the small states happy. The big states wanted more power because they had more people and the small states wanted to have an equal say in the government. So, the Founders came up with a plan to make both sides happy. They created a legislature with two parts: the House of Representatives, where the number of representatives is based on the state's population (which helps the big states), and the Senate, where each state gets two senators no matter how big or small (which helps the small states). This compromise made it fair for all the states and helped the Constitution get passed.
