e population would be accounted for both taxation and towards the population of the state. This way both were happy.Lastly an Agreement was reached between the States on the Slave trade, The north wanted the Slave Trade to be abolished, and for the central government to Regulate commerce. The South needed the slaves for their plantations and they were afraid if the government regulated commerce then they would be taxed on their exports. The compromise they reached stated that the slave trade could not be abolished for twenty years and the government could regulate commerce but not levy duties on the exports. Therefore each side got a little of what they wanted and had to sacrifice a little.The examples cited above show how our nation founders came together and were able to use compromise effectively to ensure a sound and stable government. If it werent for their ability to reason and sacrifice, then nothing would have been accomplished. The men were smart enough to realize that they all couldnt get everything that they wanted but they all got something they did. The Constitution is not only the basis of our government, but others have also copied ideas and used it as a roll model in forming their government. It has inspired so many more nations in the world....
