APUSH Philadelphia Constitution three-fifths compromise

1a. Madison helped the passing of the Constitution by defending ridicule against it. He also supported the Great Compromise about representation in the legislature. 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. He argued for any of the changes made in the Constitution even if his fellow Virginians did not agree with them. He even wrote letters to defend the Constitution against ridicule.
