Assume that the united states does not exist, as it is still a british colony. imagine that the same issues that the colonists experienced in the late 1700s are still happening today! your assignment is to choose two of the grievances to incorporate into a story as if they were still occurring. your story should show the impact that this has on the citizens today. be creative!

this act gave the federal government the power to relocate any native in the east to territory west of the mississippi river.

the great compromise was the deal of how representation for each state in congress as written in the constitution worked. small states such as new jersey wanted each state to have an equal amount of representatives regardless of their population. bigger states such as virginia wanted each state to have representation based solely on their population. the compromise itself states there would be a senate (equal representation for each state) and a house of representatives (representation based on population).

due to this explanation, i don't really think you could say small states and large states gave up something specifically. you could say the small states gave up their want for each state to have an equal amount of representatives regardless of their population, and you could say the large states gave up their want for each state to have representation based solely on their population, but technically the great compromise worked it out really well!

or in shorter terms how they would be represented in congress.
