The Connecticut Compromise combined parts of both the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. It is also known as "The Great Compromise". This compromise said that the legislative branch of government would be bicameral, or have two separate houses. Each state would sent two senators to one house and representatives would be based on the population of each state. The value of equality works in this compromise also because both the large and small states would send only two senators to one house, no matter the size of the state. Popular Sovereignty is a huge value in this compromise because each states sent senators and representatives to represent their state, so that the power is coming from the people.
