The Great Compromise
The Three-Fifths Compromise
No Chief Executive
State representatives based on population. Strong national government with three branches: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Legislature divided into two bodies, senate and house of representatives, of proportional representation. Checks and balances
Proposed a unicameral legislature with equal votes of state and an executive elected by a national legislature. Maintained the form of government under the Articles of Confederation while adding powers to raise revenue and regulate commerce and foreign affairs.
Reconciled the two sides by making up one house of the legislature, the Senate, of equal representation; two representatives from each state, and the other house of legislature, the House of Representatives, to be distributed according the to population of each state.
Bicameral and unicameral legislature, along with representation; some had it based on population or all even. So the compromise was that there will be two houses, and one will be based on population (house) while the other is equal (senate), 2 for each state.
A debate about how much a slave counts for. Southern states wanted them to be full people, but that wouldn't be fair. Northern states wanted them to count for nothing, so they had to compromise. The compromise was that each slave counted as 3/5's of a person.
If there should be one at all, or what the position should be. Some didn't want one at all, PTSD from a King, but they needed some structure (Shay's Rebellion). The compromise was a president that gets elected by the people, and representatives from each state.
Bi-cameral, based on population
Bi-cameral, one equal, one population
Uni-cameral, all equal
Count none!
count all!
We're going to count them as 3/5's
No president, they will turn on us and try to use all power, like a king
We need a leader, look what happened with Shay's Rebellion
There will be a president, the people will vote, and there will be representatives to make the final decision, there will be other branches of government to make sure they don't abuse their power
