The U.S. Constitution wasn’t built overnight—it was shaped by intense debates and hard-fought compromises. In this episode, we dive into The Great Compromise, The Three-Fifths Compromise, and how these decisions created the foundation for American government. Learn how big and small states battled for representation, why slavery became a constitutional issue, and how the Founding Fathers structured a system designed to last.
