Social Studies - Let's Compromise!!


This past week we have been discussing important compromises that the delegates at the constitutional convention had to make.  We have discussed:

The Virginia Plan

The New Jersey Plan

The Great Compromise

We have also been reading about these important compromises in our social studies text and other informational passages.  Describe how people make compromises.  Why do you think it was important for the delegates at the constitutional convention to make compromises?  I look forward to reading about your thinking!!!!
 
Love,
Mrs. Duncan

  1. On the Virginia plan they didn't want on e government to be more powerful thatn another branch. THe New Jersey plan this is just an important fact that they enslaved 750 people.Like if it is like a war it wouldn't be fair if the british had 417 and boston only had 198. In the Great Compromise if one is smaller than another the less number of representatives you get

  2. Why do people make compromises?I think people make compromises because what if one person had a plan and another person had a plan they would have to compromise to see what plan they should use.Why was it important for the delegates at the constitutional covention to make compromise? Because what if people dont have the same idea and they dont know witch one to use.I think it was a good idea to make the great compromise because it found a way to share powers.

  3. THE GREAT COMPROMISE
    There were months of dissagreement, then Roger
    Sherman a delegate, comes up with a compromise
    that helps the biggest problem of the state, which is the states power, the states needed
    equal power. And that was . . . the great
    compromise!!!

  4. Why does everybody compromise?I think people make compromises because there somthing inpotant that they want to do and they need to see if other people agree. What if you didn't know anybody that would compromise? What would you do if you had this problem happened to you? What would you do? I would gather my friends and we would compromise about what I was thinking. People compromise to make deals with other people.the delagets made a compromise on the constitution.BY:Braydan M.
