the compromise of 1850
Chat with our AI personalities
The Connecticut Compromise (Also called the Great Compromise) settled the arguments between the two sides as the Constitutional Convention. It was a good even between the New Jersey and Virginia Plan, but more so favored the Virginia Plan. It included that the House of Representatives would have proportional representation, and that the Senate would have equal representation.
This was not an issue presented at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 in Philadelphia. It was an issue that came about later and was resolved with the 3/5 compromise. Each slave was counted as 3/5 a person for census/taxation purposes. Good Luck!

It was the parallel that marked the Southern border of Missouri. All the way to the Pacific, anywhere North of that line was free soil. This was meant to settle the slavery argument in respect of new states. Both sides were equally dissatisfied with this solution - but 'equally' was the point. It kept the balance, and it kept the peace for thirty years.
