At the Convention, there was debate on how much representatives each state would get in congress. The large states felt representation should be based on a states population this was called the Virginia Plan. The small states felt that each state should have the same number of representatives. To solve this problem, they decided on The Great Compromise. This compromise divided congress into two houses, Senate & House of Representatives. The senate was a house where each state had exactly two representatives, no less, no more. The House of Representatives was the second house where the number of representatives is based on a state's population. This compromise allowed each side to get what they wanted.

The next issue on the table was how much slaves should be counted in the population. Since slavery in the south was very popular, the South wanted to count its slaves as a part of the population so they would get more people in the House of Representatives. The North wanted slaves to be counted for taxes instead of representation. To solve this conflict the 3/5 Compromise was created. The 3/5 Compromise was a solution where the Southern states were allowed to count slaves as 3/5 of a person for representation and taxation purposes, benefiting both sides in their own way.

The last issue on the table was trade and its regulation. Since the Northern states were more industrial, they wanted the government to control trade so that the economy of the nation can operate with ease. Due to this idea the South, economy based on agriculture, feared that this idea would threaten the sale of slaves and agricultural products. In order to solve this, the Commerce Compromise was made. The Commerce Compromise was where the North agreed to wait 20 years to vote on banning slavery, but slave traders could still import slaves.
