Question

Based on the Second Act of the Georgia Platform, what did the delegates believe was key to keeping the Union together and becoming a great nation?

Answer 1

The delegates believed that compromise was key to keeping the Union together and becoming a great nation. If you see in their second act, they state what the union wouldn't be great without compromise.

Answer 2

The delegates felt that compromise was the major concept that needed to be looked at as a way to keep the country from splitting over slavery. The states, now that the number had more than doubled, needed to find a way to answer the question of how to admit new states and what these states would be allowed to pursue in the way of allowing slavery within their borders.
