This is the correct answer. The Great Compromise was needed at the Constitutional Convention because it solved the dispute between big states and small states regarding representation in Congress. The compromise established a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives based on population (favoring larger states) and the Senate having equal representation for each state (favoring smaller states). This resolved the issue of representation and helped to ensure the unity and success of the new government.
