The Constitution has limited power as to the checks and balances that limit power between the three branches of government with the Constitution. The Checks and Balances help limit each branch and Constitution powers that balances so that each has enough power but not too much. The Constitution protects the rights of people with the Bill of Rights document. The Bill of Rights was written to specifically to have rights for people that can't be taken away from them.
What were some of the compromises that were reached at the Constitutional Convention?
The compromises of the Constitutional Convention was the Great Compromise and Three-Fifths Compromise. The Great Compromise was representation in Congress with a two-house legislature. It started with two problems one of which was the Virginia Plan and other of New Jersey Plan differences so the Great Compromise was an agreement to solve the problem. The Three-Fifths Compromise was representation by counting each slave as three-fifths of a person. The cause of it was the differences between The South wanting enslaved people counted for representation and The North did not want to so the compromise was only to count three-fifths of a person.
