Answer:

MIDDLE

Great Compromise (or Connecticut Compromise in honor of its architects, Connecticut delegates Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth) provided a dual system of congressional representation. In the House of Representatives each state would be assigned a number of seats in proportion to its population. In the Senate, all states would have the same number of seats.

Three-fifths compromise, compromise agreement between delegates from the Northern and the Southern states at the United States Constitutional Convention (1787) that three-fifths of the slave population would be counted for determining direct taxation and representation in the House of Representatives.

The commerce and slave trade compromise was an agreement between Northern and Southern states of the United States of America. It forbade Congress to interfere with slave trades for at least twenty years and taxing the state exports. However, the Compromise allowed it to impose every imported slave that was brought to the country and remain taxes on the imported products.

FIRST ROW

William Paterson introduced a plan now known as the The New Jersey Plan. Mr. Paterson's plan was designed to keep an equal vote in Congress for each state, an issue that would be fought over for the next month.

The Northern states did not want all the slaves counted toward the population because that would take representation away from the North, but that was outweighed by the North's attempts to shift the burden of taxation off themselves.

One of the major disputes was over the issue of commerce relating to the Slave Trade. The states in the North wanted Congress to have power to regulate commerce.

LAST ROW

The Virginia Plan was a proposal to establish a bicameral (two-branch) legislature in the newly founded United States. Drafted by James Madison in 1787, the plan recommended that states be represented based upon their population numbers, and it also called for the creation of three branches of government.

Southern states had wanted representation apportioned by population; after the Virginia Plan was rejected, the Three-Fifths Compromise seemed to guarantee that the South would be strongly represented in the House of Representatives and would have disproportionate power in electing Presidents.

One of the major disputes was over the issue of commerce relating to the Slave Trade. The states in the North wanted Congress to have power to regulate commerce. But the states in the South opposed this power because they feared Congress would use its authority to end to the slave trade.
