“Can You Compromise?”

The Great Compromise Proposed by Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut (Connecticut Plan) Combined Virginia Plan and New Jersey Plan Bicameral - 2 houses of legislature House of Representatives to be determined by state population Directly elected by the voters in each state Senate Representation was equal per state, with each state having two senators Selected/appointed by state legislatures

The Controversy Over Slavery Delegates from the Southern states were very concerned that the Northern states would use the power of a stronger national government to limit and eventually abolish slavery They therefore insisted on protections for their institution as a condition of continuing to participate in the Convention One of the most contentions questions was: Should slaves be counted in the population of the Southern states, when the number of representatives in Congress was being determined for each state?
