Pronouns must agree with their noun antecedent. The pronoun and the antecedent must be the same in number (singular or plural) and gender (male, female, neuter). When the pronoun is not the same in number or gender, there is pronoun disagreement.

Examples:

Mother said they would pick me up at four. (the pronoun 'they' does not agree in number with the antecedent 'mother')

Mother said it would pick me up at four. (the pronoun 'it' does not agree in gender with the antecedent 'mother')

Mother said she would pick me up at four. (the pronoun 'she' agrees in number (singular) and gender (female) with the antecedent 'mother')

How do disagreements lead to great compromises?

Disagreements lead to Great Compromises by the way that they are fought. If the majority of people or the majority of the subject (that the compromise is about) is strong enough compromises will be developed. Without disagreements compromises would not be needed. Also, the leader (or of the United States, President) does not want problems under their ruling. That is why Disagreements lead to Great Compromises.ALSO WITH OUT DISAGREEMENTS THERE WOULD BE NO GREAT COMPROMISE WHICH MEANS NOT ENOUGH SENATORS IN THE USA.
