He was also able to keep one of the few recollections of the events that happened in the Constitutional Convention. He later agreed that a Bill of Rights was fundamental to the Constitution and said he would do everything in his power to make it happen. b. While many of his peers did not approve of a Bill of Rights, in the end, he agreed that it was fundamental.

Megan: Our goal with our Reconstruction plans was to simply find a compromise between the Radical Republicans? plans and Johnson?s plans. We aimed to find the middle ground so that Reconstruction would not only be executed as efficiently as possible, but so that the Northerners would not feel like they fought the war in vain or for a lost cause.

The United States of America was founded and held together using compromises to help keep all parties involved in a particular conflict satisfied. This continued through the time period from 1820 to 1860. However, by 1860, the increasing tension surrounding the issue of slavery made continued use of compromise seem impossible. The numerous conflicts and disagreements involved with slavery divided the North and the South and eventually caused a complete collapse in the possibility of compromise.

The most prominent violations were the vetoing of the United States Bank, and the Indian Removal Act.
