Just when it seemed that all would be lost, Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth introduced THE CONNECTICUT PLAN.  This compromise provided for a bi-cameral (two house) legislature consisting of a SENATE with 2 members coming from each state regardless of size, and a HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES the number of which would be determined by the population of each state.  A practical solution, it satisfied the concerns of both sides and saved the day.

(It also doubled the number of politicians we  have to put up with!)
