The Great Compromise had to do with determining "representation in Congress," since the larger states wanted it to be based on population size, while the smaller states wanted there to be a set number of representatives per state. The Great Compromise settled the issue of representation in the legislature in that called for two houses in the legislature: the Senate and the House of Representatives, with the Senate having a set number of representatives per state (which favored the smaller states), and the House having representatives based on state population size (which favored the larger states).
