Compromises of the Constitutional Convention Essential Skill: 1)State implications and consequences 2)Examine information from more than one perspective

Great Compromise / Connecticut Compromise  Conflict between small & large states over voting in Congress  NJ Plan: all states have equal vote (similar to AOC)  VA Plan: larger states have more votes  THE SOLUTION:  Bicameral Congress (two houses)  One house has # representatives based on population of state (House of Representatives)  One house has equal representation for every state (Senate = 2 senators per state)

Three-Fifths Compromise  Conflict b/w S. slave states and N. states – Should slaves count for # representatives in Congress? Should slaves count for $ taxes paid?  WHAT HAPPENED?  The word “slave” was never used in the Constitution.  They counted slaves as “three fifths of all other persons” for amount of taxes paid and number of representatives in the House.

Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise  Conflict b/w S. slave states and N. states over regulating commerce and slavery  WHAT HAPPENED?  3-part compromise:  S. states agreed to give Congress Power to Regulate Commerce (Trade)  N. states agreed not to ban “importation of such persons” until 1808  N. states agreed to NO Taxes on Exports

Other Compromises EXECUTIVE Compromise: The problem: Should there be one Chief Executive or a Committee of Chief Exec’s? They chose ONE (the President) ELECTORAL COLLEGE Compromise: The problem: Should Congress or the citizens elect the President? They let STATE legislatures choose the Electors of the President (gave states more power over the vote)
