The Connecticut Compromise was an agreement made in 1787. It was also known as the Constitutional Convention or 3/5 Compromise. The larger states that had a bigger population wanted representation based on population, meaning they thought they should get a bigger say so in political elections. The smaller states argued that every state should have equal representation. Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth proposed the compromise that would give each state 1 vote. Their proposal was rejected because the larger states thought it was unfair. Since the smaller states had a larger population of slaves the idea that slaves vote only count as 3/5 a vote emerged. This idea was accepted. This was the 3/5 Compromise.

Today, we have established a very organized voting system between the states. We owe it to the Connecticut Compromise.

The Connecticut Compromise was a measure decided during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  Also known as "The Great Compromise," it resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.   It was important because it created a two-chamber legislature, with proportional representation in the House and equal representation for all states in the Senate.

Further details:

The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. (This was the essence of the Virginia Plan.) The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  (This was the New Jersey Plan.)

The Great Compromise (aka Connecticut Compromise) created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature, with different rules for representation in each chamber. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
