Connecticut Compromise (Great Compromise)- It was agreed that congress should be composed of two houses. In the smaller Senate, the states would be represented equally. In the House, the representation of each state would be based on population. This solved the biggest conflict that absolutely needed to be cleared up.
Three-Fifths Compromise- Many Southerners (mostly slave owners) wanted slaves to count as voters although they would still have no actual rights (Hypocritical, I know) while everyone else disagreed. Then, a compromise was made which counted slaves as 3/5 of a person in regards to voting and counting population. Therefore, 5 slaves equalled 3 people.
Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise- Congress was forbidden the power to tax the export goods of any state. Also, It was forbidden to act upon slave trade for a period of at least20 years. It could not interfere with "the migration or importation of such persons as any State now existing shall think proper to admit," except for a small head tax, at least until the year 1808.
