The Constitution was a result of multiple compromises.
Further Explanation:
When creating the US Constitution, there was constant debate between two different political factions. These factions were known as the federalists and anti federalists. These two groups argued over several different issues including whether or not to include slaves in the population, representation in Congress, and the power of the federal government.
In order to ratify the new US Constitution, compromises needed to take place between these two groups. This is why they agreed to things like the Great Compromise (aka Connecticut Compromise).
The Great Compromise solved the issue of representation in Congress by ensuring that all states had two representatives in the US Senate (regardless of population size) and representation in the House of Representatives would be based on a states population. This was both states with small populations and large populations would have power in Congress.
