who did the commerce and slave trade compromise benefit
The Missouri Compromise.
Southerners and Northerners were feuding over the government's tariffs and the Commerce Compromise was born.
The Federalists compromised and agreed to add the Bill of Rights (first ten amendments), which was ratified in 1791.
There were several compromises made at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. First all, the New Jersey Delegates agreed to compromise their plan from unicameral to the bicameral legislature proposal of the Virginia Plan. A compromise was made to appease slave owners, allowing them to count their slaves, who had no right to vote, as 3/5 a person for representation numbers, instead of not allowing them to count slaves at all. Federalists had to compromise in terms of elections. The Anti-Federalists wanted there to be a popular vote, while the elitist Federalists didn't feel the common man could be trusted to render as important a decision as voting. The compromise went to the Anti-Federalists on that one.
they compromised with the bill of rights that was not originally in the constitution
The Constitution was a compromise between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Federalists supported a strong central government and the Constitution as it was proposed, while Anti-Federalists favored state sovereignty and were concerned about the potential for government overreach. The resulting compromises included the addition of the Bill of Rights to address concerns about individual liberties and the balance of power between state and federal authorities.
