Why you think the delegates to the constitutional convention were right or wrong in compromising on the slavery issue?
The delegates were right to compromise over slavery because, despite the anti-slavery sentiments of many of the delegates, the southern representatives were not about to compromise the cornerstone of their economy. Demanding the immediate end of slavery would have caused them to walk out, jeopardizing the new nation. Therefore, the delegates kept slavery but left provisions for the elimination of slavery at a later date. Also, they added the three-fifths clause, which essentially hamstrung the southern states' ability to use slaves to inflate their population and therefore their representation in the House of Representatives.

Why was the Three-Fifths Compromise necessary according to both pro-slavery and anti-slavery delegates?
The Three-Fifths Compromise was necessary as it aimed to balance the interests of both pro-slavery and anti-slavery delegates during the Constitutional Convention. Pro-slavery delegates wanted enslaved individuals counted for representation in Congress to gain more political power, while anti-slavery delegates opposed this, arguing that enslaved people should not be counted as citizens. The compromise allowed for enslaved individuals to be counted as three-fifths of a person, which helped to maintain a delicate balance between northern and southern states and facilitated the ratification of the Constitution. This agreement, however, reflected the deep divisions and moral compromises surrounding the issue of slavery in the early United States.
