It created a bicameral legislature with the Senate having equal representation per state and the House of Representatives having representation based on population.
2. 3/5th Compromise: A controversial agreement at the Constitutional Convention that counted three - fifths of a state's slave population for purposes of apportioning representatives and direct taxes. It was a concession to the Southern states.
3. Limited Government: The concept that government power is restricted through separation of powers (legislative, executive, judicial) and a system of checks and balances to prevent abuse of power.
4. Hamilton's Financial System: Alexander Hamilton's plan to stabilize the US economy after the Revolutionary War, which included assumption of state debts by the federal government, creation of a national bank, and promotion of manufacturing and trade.
