“The genius of the Constitution is found in the series of compromises which made it acceptable to so many.”

Assess the validity of this statement with reference to TWO of the following:

Representation in Congress

The Presidency

The Slavery Issue
 
Slavery Issue:

Read Article 2, Clause 3...notice the part on taxes that came to be known as the 3/5ths compromise.

Representation: We have a bicameral (two bodied) legislature. One, the senate, gives equal representation to all states (Think about populations between northern and southern states and who would want this.)
Then the House of Representatives...where representation of states is based on free white populations. (Once again, what region would want this based on their population.)

good luck
