noun - a settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions (gives in a little) to come to a result which solves a problem

1. GREAT COMPROMISE 2. 3/5 COMPROMISE 3. TRADE COMPROMISE

Major debate was over how to set up the legislative branch of government

It becomes a battle between smaller states and the ones with larger populations VS

Several states submit plans for the type of legislature they want

1)The legislative branch would have two houses 2) Both houses would assign representatives based on wealth/population

1) The legislature would have one house 2) Each state would have only one vote in the legislature

The legislature would have two houses

SENATE – number of representatives for each state are equal = 2 senators

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES - based on population = 52 representatives (38,800,000 people) = 1 representative (493,000 people)

CONGRESS SENATE (100) EVERY DATE HAS EQUAL NUMBER HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (435) BASED ON POPULATION SO NOT EQUAL FOR EVERY STATE

TOTAL NUMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS FROM EACH STATE

Unit 5 – Creating a Government – Page 4 of 10 VIRGINIA PLAN NEW JERSEY PLAN GREAT COMPROMISE THE LEGISLATURE WILL HAVE 2 HOUSES 1)2 houses for legislature 2) NUMBER of people in congress set by wealth and population 1) 1 house for legislature 2) Each state would have only one vote in the legislature SENATE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Number of people BASED ON EQUALITY = EACH STATE HAS SAME NUMBER Number of people BASED ON populations

Next major issue to be decided is slavery and if slaves should be counted as population

should slaves be counted as population for taxes and/or to determine representatives in the legislature

Northern states want slaves to not be counted to determine representatives but to be counted for taxes X

Southern states want slaves to be counted to determine representatives but not for taxes X

Compromise made was count slaves as 3/5 of a person This is used for taxes and to set up the number of reps in Congress

Northern states agree to do nothing about slave trade until 1808 Southern states agree to allow national government to regulate trade

No state gets everything they wanted but they wrote a constitution they thought would work overall
