the great compromise WAS bad. was necessary at the time but definitely bad. 3/5th's is EVEN WORSE and was part of that compromise too.

I do believe the 'sand in the gears' model with some probability but I still think the complaints are valid, sometimes good things are unfair

it is a legitimate grievance that I suspect is building up to what will eventually be a second wave of secessionist movements, but this time from the wealthiest and most powerful states instead of the agrarian backwaters
