Answer:

A bicameral legislature has two different chambers. The Great Compromise stated that the representation in the two branches for the United States would be different. For the senate, representation would be equal for all states. In the House of Representatives, representation would be based on population. This made small states happy because they had a voice in the senate and large states because they had power in the house.
