The separate economic interests of Northern and Southern states becomes the basis for the second major debate. The South seeks some credit for its slaves and make it known that there will be no union without recognition of a way of life they consider necessary, economically and socially. Madison's Journal chronicles the debate and the three-fifths compromise that eventually is reached. Constitutional scholar Jack Rakove explains why he believes the first compromise which results in equal representation in the Senate is the more problematic of the two compromises.
