The correct answer is letter D.

The Great Compromise was the name given to the agreement on the creation of the Legislative Power in the Constitutional Convention. Under the compromise, Congress would have two houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate would give equal amounts of Senators to each state, and the House of Representatives would determine the number of representatives based on the state's population.
