  1. Compromise was vital to creating our Constitution so that there wasn't just a view of one or of a few people. So that things worked out for both sides.
    The debating went back and forth and while this was happening people could see the different options and even the people who were presenting these ideas that were different could see the other other presented. It made the Constitution more worldly.

  2. I think the most informative part of the movie was when they showed the families at home. The war not only effected the soldiers and their minds, but the feelings of the loved ones they left behind. This movie was very good in my opinion and definetly represented Vietnam well because of the accuracy it seems the film depicted. Although racial tensions were high, when it came down to saving your men or brothers you did whatever it took.

  3. Compromise was vital to the creation of the Constitution because it helped reach an agreement between opposing ideas so that the Constitution had something for everyone to agree with. When the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, they had many compromises to deal with, including the Great Compromise, the Three-Fifths Compromise, and the compromise over the Bill of Rights. Since they had these issues, they were able to look at both sides of the argument and then find the way that was best for everyone. This way, the Constitution had parts that everyone could agree with, so that everyone would truly respect the Constitution as the "Supreme Law of the Land."

  4. Compromise was important to the creation of the Constitution because without the compromises we wouldnt have had the Bill of Rights, the house or senate, and most important, the Constitution would have never been ratified because Rhode Island wanted the Bill in.

  5. Compromise was vital to the creation of the Constitution because it gave everyone's views heard. While writing the Constitution there was defiantly disagreement, but with the compromise it promoted everyone to come to an agreement. When it came to the Constitution both sides of the argument agreed on one thing that contravened both opinions.
