I would challenge the premise of this question. The meaning of âdotardâ does not change according to individual whim. The other answers given so far are spot on, but it has nothing to do with what it means âto themâ. I would say even that the usual pressures on the English language for words to shift meaning over time are not acting on this word nearly as strongly, since it seems to be out of common use these days.
There are several reasons why the Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise involved so much debate and discussion, but mainly because slavery was so contested and nobody wanted the government to have too much power. Comments.
Best Answer: Probably the Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise) and the Three-Fifths Compromise. The Great Compromise allowed both large and small states to agree to the Constitution without seriously diminishing their power in Congress.he Three-Fifths Compromise settled the dispute between Northern states and Southern states over the definition of population for determining the number of members a state had in the House of Representatives.
