As a result of Shay's Rebellion, people realized the United States needed...

• to create an entirely new government.

The Great Compromise was...

• A compromise that says any new states admitted into the U.S. would NOT allow slavery.
• A compromise that gives representation in Congress, using the House of Representatives (based on population) and the Senate (2 per state).
• A compromise that allowed George Washington to represent them as President.

This compromise stated that representation in the House of Representatives would be based on free people plus 3/5 of slaves...

• Three-Fifths Compromise
• The Great Compromise
• Magna Carta

The three branches of the national government are:
