I think political parties are important, especially because they are the ones developing policies and programs.
The Great Compromise was important because it allowed all the states to have the kind of representation in Congress that they wanted. In the Senate, the states with small populations were equal to the larger states because each state had two senators. The number of representatives that each state had in the House of Representatives was based on the size of the state's population. So each group got part of what they wanted. I think this compromise was very important because there might not have been a Constitution without it. Without the Constitution, I think the country might not have survived as a strong, free nation.

He was (and I think still is, though retired) a member of the National Party.
It's actually the 3/5 compromise.
He warned that political parties would become more important than the common good of the country. If you think about the political parties today it seems he can be right about that.
Good
It kept the peace for thirty years - so it benefited both sides. Ironically both sides were dissatisfied with it, but at least they were equally dissatisfied, and it managed to keep the balance.
