Compromises Group Work – Fill in the chart

Agree/Disagree? “Inasmuch as the primary object of a government, …is making of rules which determine the property relations of members of society, the dominant classes whose rights are thus to be determined must obtain from the government such rules as are consistent with the larger interests necessary to the continuance or their economic progress…” –Charles Beard (Historian)

Agree/Disagree? The Constitution was a compromise between slaveholding interests of the South and the mainly manufacturing and shipping of the North. In order to unite the thirteen states into one great market for commerce, the northern delegates wanted laws regulating interstate commerce, and urged that such laws require only a majority of Congress to pass. The South agreed to this, in return for allowing the trade of slaves to continue for twenty years. -- Howard Zinn
