Compromise of 1850 Compromise Essay Compromises happen everyday, and it happened everyday since the past. A compromise is considered to be an agreement where both sides negotiate and bargain, or give up some things, and gain some things, until both side’ reach and agreement. Two examples I have chosen are the three-fifths compromise, and The Great Compromise. In the three-fifths compromise the two sides were, the slave holding states, and the non-salve holding states. The slave holding states wanted their slaves to be counted in representation, because for them this means more population, more representation, therefore more power. The non-slave holding states said that if slaves can be counted as property and representation, why couldn’t anything else be' My other example is The Great Compromise; in this the large states wanted a bicameral legislature, based on population. The smaller states wanted equal representation. Both of my examples ended with a compromise that satisfied all. One issue the framers had to deal with was the three-fifths compromise. The slave-holding states wanted the slaves to be counted as people for the House of Representatives, even though they were treated and counted as property. Their motives were that; they would have more population, which means more representatives, which states, compromise, representation, population, based, wanted, two, three-fifths, house, counted, slave, means, holding, equal, tax, smaller, slaves, sides, representatives, power, great, both, because, votes, slave-holding, property, plan, non-slave, legislature, larger, examples, everyday, ended, compromises, bicameral, though, think, things, new, motives, lower, large, houses, follows, final, example, even, end, else, each, count
