COMPROMISES TO RATIFY THE CONSTITUTION Delegates sent to Philadelphia Actually need entirely new government Agreements for the Constitutional Convention Need 9/13 Total secrecy in Philadelphia The founding fathers (AKA: the Framers) – an elite, educated, and “radical” bunch

ORGANIZATION OF THIS LECTURE 3 sets of compromises Each with Debate Compromises in the US Constitution Implications of the compromises

LARGE VS SMALL STATES The issues: representation and taxation (power) Less populous states wanted states equally represented in the legislative branch More populous states wanted states represented in the legislative branch based on their population’s size New Jersey vs Virginia Plans Connecticut Compromise (AKA: Great Compromise) Bicameral legislature The House of Representatives (based on population) The Senate (two Senators from each state) Another perk: intrabranch checks and balances
