Who led the Great Compromise?

George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
James Madison
Roger Sherman

The correct answer is: Roger Sherman

The Great Compromise was a crucial event during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where delegates gathered to discuss and create the framework for the United States government. Among the key figures involved, Roger Sherman, a delegate from Connecticut, proposed the idea of a bicameral legislature, with equal representation in the Senate and proportional representation in the House of Representatives. This proposal was accepted and became known as the Great Compromise. Therefore, none of the other options mentioned, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, did not take the lead in this pivotal decision.
