Compromises

The Connecticut Compromise Congress has two houses: House of Representatives and Senate House of Reps Population determines number of representatives. More people, more representatives Senate Each state gets 2 representatives.

Partner Discussion Should slaves count in the population? Should the South get more representatives because of slavery?
