The Connecticut Compromise created the House of Representatives, where representation is based on population, and the Senate, where representation is equal for all states.
康涅狄克妥協案產生了代表權以人口數量為基礎的眾議院和每個州都擁有平等代表權的參議院。
Another disagreement at the Constitutional Convention was how the votes of slaves (or people who were owned as property and were forced to work without being paid) should be counted.
在制憲會議上的另一個分歧是如何計算奴隸的選票（或歸他人所有且被迫無償工作的人）。
About 20% of the U.S. population was slaves, and most of them were in the South.
大約20%的美國人口是奴隸，他們大都生活在南方。
States with many slaves wanted them to be counted for representation in the legislature, but not for taxes (or money paid to the government).
擁有大量奴隸的州希望這些奴隸能在立法機構中得到體現，但在稅收（或上交給政府的錢財）上不體現。
States without slaves wanted them to be counted for taxes, but not for representation.
而沒有奴隸的州則希望他們要交稅，而沒有代表權。
The solution was another compromise: to count each slave as three-fifths (or 60%) of a person.
該解決方案是另一個妥協：將每個奴隸算作五分之三（或60%）的人。
There were many other disagreements during the Constitutional Convention, but eventually the Constitution (or the most important legal document in the United States) was written.
制憲會議上有許多其他的分歧，但最終起草了憲法（或美國最重要的法律文件）。
The men who were at the Constitutional Convention are often called our Founding Fathers, because they were the people who helped to found (or create) the U.S. government as we know it today.
參與制憲會議的人通常被稱為美國的開國元勛，因為他們幫助建立了（或創建了）我們今天所熟知的美國政府。
