Compromises
GREAT ‘STATE’ COMPROMISE
ARGUMENTS:
--Virginia Plan (large states) wanted representation to be based on population
--New Jersey Plan (small states) wanted equal representation
Split the legislature into 2 houses--BICAMERAL
---Senate- # of representatives would be equal: 2 from every state regardless of size or
population (made small states happy)
---House of Representatives- # of representatives would be based on the states population
(made large states happy)
THREE-FIFTHS COMPROMISE
ARGUMENTS:
--Southern states wanted slaves to count as part of the population to
have more representation in Congress
--Northern states wanted slaves to be counted for taxation but not
representation
**For every 5 slaves, they would count as 3 people towards
representation in the legislature.
COMMERCE COMPROMISES
--Congress can levy tariffs (taxes) on imports but not exports
--Allowed the importation of slaves until 1807. After 1807,
participation in the SLAVE TRADE was banned
