Congress would be given the power to regulate trade among the states and with other nations. • Control over the states.Laws made by Congress would be considered the supreme law of the land, and no state could make a law violating national laws

7.

9. 3/5 Compromise • all “free persons” should be counted, and so, too, should “three-fifths of all other persons.” (Article I, Section 2, Clause 3…all other persons referred to enslaved Africans)

10. Slave Trade Compromise • Congress was forbidden to make any laws regulating (keeping or ending) the slave trade for at least 20 years • After that 20 years is up…Congress can end the slave trade if there is enough votes!
