What compromise did the delegates make during the convention?
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.
