Yes, this was part of the US Constitutional Convention
When the framers of the U.S. Constitution met at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on July 16, 1787, they reached a crucial agreement that provided for a dual system of congressional representation. Although this arrangement seems obvious today, it was a novel idea in the wilting-hot summer of 1787. This Great Compromise, or Connecticut Compromise, was named in honor of its architects, Connecticut delegates Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth.
In the preceding weeks, the framers had made several important decisions about Congress’s structure. The term for senators was set at six years, and for House members, two years.
