Jefferson Davis proposed the Missouri compromise.
The Great Compromise combined the Virginia Plan which was popular among the larger more populous states and the New Jersey Plan which was favored by the smaller states. The Virginia Plan proposed a bicameral legislature where both houses were to be based on proportion, meaning a state with more people gets more representatives. The smaller states disagreed with this concept, and came up with equal representation in one house of Congress. These two entities were bumping heads. The result of The Great Compromise was a bicameral legislature where the lower house, most commonly known as the House of Representatives was to be based on proportion, while each state was to send two represenatives to the Senate, regardless of population. The two entities were satisfied with the plan, and is our current system today. California is the most populous state in America, and they have 53 representatives in the House. The current number of representatives in the House is fixed at 435. For ever 500,000 or so people in a district equals 1 representative for that state.
