what issues did the delegates agree to compromise in order to create the constitution
Because the delegates came from all parts of the country -- every state but Rhode Island was represented -- they differed on a number of key issues. In order to keep the convention going and ensure ratification of the Constitution, the delegates had to compromise a number of times. As a result, the final document is sometimes described as a bundle of compromises. The Constitution creates a bicameral legislature. In the House of Representatives, representation is determined by population.
