I think that the most important Constitutional compromise was the Great compromise because it established the makeup of the United States legislative body, and Congress is still set up the way it was created in the Great Compromise, to this day.
While I agree the Great Compromise was important to our country's history, I think the Bill of Rights was the most important constitutional compromise. These are the most important, because it was a compromise between the Anti-Federalists and the Federalists which were the two major political groups at the time. The Federalists were the supporters of the constitution and the Anti-Federalists were the opponents of the Constitution. In order for the Constitution to be ratified, the Federalists promised adding the Bill of Rights that would satisfy the Anti-Federalists as soon as the Constitution was amended. After it was enacted, the Federalists kept their promise and added the Bill of Rights to make sure everyone was satisfied. The Federalists could have easily not added the Bill of Rights once they had gotten what they wanted, but they added them anyhow to make sure the major groups of the United States could work and live in harmony.
I agree the Great Compromise was the most important compromise because of its lasting effect. The system is so effective that it has not been altered since its beginning. This system was a huge success because its bicameral structure allows for representation based on population (House of Representatives) and based on equality among states (Senate).
Adding to what Maggie said, I think that the Bill of Rights was the most important compromise made to the Constitution. This Bill of Rights is so important because it sets limits on the government and gives unalienable rights to the people. The Bill of Rights illustrates our founding fathers understanding of the need for broad freedoms for the people and a limit on the federal power over Americans. The preservation of our liberties is a very unique aspect of our country that still remains important today. Without the Bill of Rights, our nation would not be anywhere close to what it is today. The Bill of Rights gives American citizens rights that neither the government or the majority can infringe upon. That in itself is very importan
