Three fifths compromise : to determine how many representatives in the House/Senate:
~1/3 of southern States' population was slaves
What new power was granted to Congress?
3) Commerce and slave trade compromise
New Congress given right to regulate trade
What was the major trade in the southern States? Tobacco, cotton, and slaves.
Congress - couldn't do anything about slavery until 1808. but could regulate interstate and foreign commerce.
Couldn't impose an export tax.
4) Slavery question : need for a strong government outweighed the personal beliefs of the Northern States. Allowed chance for slavery to be abolished.
