[QUOTE="fishtm2001, post: 5774814, member: 54375"] James Madison, architect and chief lobbyist for the constitution, made it clear then that its roots lie in fact not to protect “small states” but was one of several compromises between slaveholder states and free states. [URL='http://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/1057#Farrand_0544-01_3026']Madison said[/URL] [I]“states were divided into different interests not by their difference of size, but by other circumstances; the most material of which resulted partly from climate, but principally from [the effects of] their having or not having slaves.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
