Problems in the Constitutional Convention Slavery and Representation Whether or slaves count as population when determining Congressional votes Big States- South- Slaves should be counted as population (people) Little States – North- Should Not be counted as people

Problems in the Constitutional Convention Slavery as an Institution Whether or not they should have slavery in the new United States Government Big States- South- Keep Slaves Little States- North- No Slavery (Puritans)

Solutions at the Constitutional Convention Great Compromise 2 Houses in Congress (Bicameral), One based on population (House of Representatives), One equal representation (Senate) Big States: House of Representatives Little States: Senate

Solutions at the Constitutional Convention 3/5ths Compromise Slaves will be counted as 3/5ths of a person (for every 5 slaves, 3 will be counted) Big States: Slaves are counted as 3/5ths of a person Little States: Northern States still have a majority in the House of Representatives

Solutions at the Constitutional Convention Slavery Compromise Slavery will be allowed by states choice Big States (Slave States): Got to keep Slavery Little States (Free States): International Slave Trade will end in 20 years (1808)
