Constitutional Compromises• The Connecticut Compromise
–Delegates agreed on a bicameral Congress, one segment with equal representation for States, and the other with representation proportionate to the States’ populations.
• The Three-Fifths Compromise–The Framers decided to count a slave as three-fifths of a person when determining the population of a State.
• The Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise–Congress was forbidden from taxing exported goods, and was not allowed to act on the slave trade for 20 years.

• Most agreed with Ben Franklin’s thoughts when he said,
“From such an assembly [of fallible men] can a perfect production be expected? It…astonishes me, Sir, to find this system approaching so near to perfection as it does…”
