Answer: William Paterson- New Jersey Plan

James Madison- Virginia Plan

Rodger Sherman- Great Compromise

Step-by-step explanation:

Rodger Sherman, a delegate from the state of Connecticut suggested the Great Compromise. In the Senate, each state was granted 2 Senators, no matter what the population was. This was to please the small states. In the House of Representatives, representation would be decided by the state’s population. The higher the population, the more representation and the lower the population the less representation each state would receive. This was to please the larger states.
