The Connecticut Compromise addressed the issue of political representation in government during the Constitutional Convention.

Answer 1

The statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Connecticut Compromise was an agreement made during the Philadelphia Convention, in which the Constitution of the United States was approved in 1787. In this agreement, proposed by Roger Sherman, a political position was adopted for the organization of the legislative power of the United States that combined the two existing proposals at the time: the Virginia Plan, which favored the largest and most populous states by establishing a Congress with representation proportional to the population of each state; and the New Jersey Plan, which sought equal representation for each state. Thus, the Connecticut Compromise consisted of the establishment of a bicameral Congress, with one chamber organized according to the Virginia Plan, and the other organized according to the New Jersey Plan.
