The northern and southern states disagreed on how slaves should be counted in the population.

# data[].attributes.subject
The northern and southern states disagreed on how slaves should be counted in the population.

# data[].attributes.body
The southern states wanted to have slaves count as the population (even though they were considered property), because it would give them more votes in the House of Representatives. They did not however want the slave population to count towards taxes, so that they would get something out of their way of economy.

# data[].attributes.body
The northern states wanted the opposite of the southern states; they wanted slaves population to count towards tax payment, but not votes in the House of Representatives. They wanted it to be fair between the northern and the southern states because the northern states had an economy that didn't involve slaves.

# data[].attributes.body
The states once again compromised, and agreed that 3/5 of slaves would count towards the population, (increasing the number of votes in the House of Representatives), but 3/5 of the slaves would also count towards taxes. That way the southern states were able to use their slave population to their advantage, but also have to pay more taxes because of it.

The Great Compromise compromised how many representatives each state would get, the small states arguing that all states should have the same amount of representatives, and the large states arguing that the number of representatives should be based on the population of each state. To come together in the middle so both the small states and the large states got a little of what they wanted, the Great Compromise stated that the legislative branch will be bicameral. It would have to houses; a House of Representatives, and the Senate. In the Senate, each state got two votes or representatives, (regardless of population), and in the House of Representatives, the number of reps. from each state would be based on the state's population.

The southern states didn't want trade to be regulated because they wanted to make sure that the "regulation of trade wouldn't threaten the sale of slaves" (Issue 3 Background), and their crops such as cotton and tobacco.

# data[].attributes.body
The northern states wanted trade to be regulated because their economy was more industrial, and thought that it would help it run more smoothly.

The Commerce Compromise allowed both sides to get their way at some time, but would push the topic to the side for a while. The north agreed to wait 20 years to ban slavery
