Compare and contrast The Articles of Confederation and The Great Compromise?

Under the Articles of Confederation, each state, large or small, had one vote in Congress. Under the Constitution's "Great Compromise," each state had an equal number of votes (two) in the Senate, but the number of votes a state had in the House of Representatives was based on the state's population. So large and small states had the same power in the Senate, but larger states had more power in the House.
