∙ 10y agoThe Great Compromise addressed the issue of representation by smaller states versus larger states. A house of representatives was created, allowing larger states to achieve their goal of more power due to larger population, while a senate was created, allowing only two senators from each state to represent the state, keeping smaller states on equal footing with larger ones.
The 3/5ths compromise settled the issue of how slaves would be counted: whether or not they qualified to be counted towards the population. Again, a power thing is observed here. The southern states, with a lesser white population, wanted to count their slaves, yet not give them voting rights. The Northern states did not agree. The compromise stated that 3 out of every five slaves would be equivalent to one white man, but only in terms of population density.

∙ 9y agoOne major compromise during the Constitutional Convention was the Connecticut Compromise. This allowed every sate to have two members in the Senate, and have the number of representatives in the House based on population. Another compromise was the Three-Fifths Compromise, where three-fifths of the slaves in a state would count towards the population.

∙ 9y agoTwo major compromises or perhaps better termed, certain agreements, were vital to the ratification of the US Constitution. One was the addition of the Bill of Rights, to satisfy those States that wanted to make sure the Federal government could not infringe upon the basic tenets of "freedom" that many colonialists agreed were necessary. The other compromise, which later proved to be a disaster was that which did not outlaw slavery but did say that no more slaves could be imported into the US after a certain date. (20 years I believe )

What was the purpose of the US congressional compromises leading up to the US Civil War?
Compromises between the North and the South began with the writing of the US Constitution, however, in the 19th century, three major compromises were made between the North and the South. The purpose of the compromises were to keep the number of free states and slave states equal in number. The last compromise can be said to be the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. There citizens would vote on slavery in there own territories. The US Congress, thereby washed its hands of the old style compromises. The people within territories would vote on the issue, Congress retreated from the slavery issue battle.
