This depends on what you believe in.

Historically, examples of each can be found in certain area and history of places, including the US for capitalism, P.R.C. for socialism, and the USSR for Communism.

Capitalism: Capitalism is the belief that private citizens should own the means of production as well as distribution, and that the market is not limited in any great way. People are free to produce what they want with little to no boundaries in the areas. Services and goods are provided based on supply and demand, and customers are free to choose which company or government agency to obtain these services and goods from.

Socialism: Socialism can be seen as a "borderline" Communism, in which the means of production, distribution, and exchange is regulated by the community based on what is produced and what is consumed. Socialism does not limit what kind of products appear, however.

Communism: Communism is a step further than Socialism, in which there is a heavily control of the type and amount of a product being produced, as well as what type of products go to the consumers. Different areas may receive different types of products. Communism is also extreme, for it advocates for a classless society, but it fails to do so and instead creates a totalitarian state.

To choose what type of economic principle closely relates to your beliefs, ask yourself some questions:

1) Do you believe in state-regulation? If yes, how much, and what is your limit? The less you believe in it, the more Capitalistic your view. The more you believe it, the more you lean to Communism.

2) Do you believe in having the freedom in being able to choose what type of company's product to buy? If you like to have choice, lean towards the Capitalistic view. If you do not, lean towards Socialism/Communism.

3) Do you believe in the freedom to believe in what you want? Do you believe that everybody has the right to believe in what they want?

If you do, then you will lean towards Capitalism; the less you believe it, the more left you lean.

There are other questions you can ask yourself that would give you a general idea of what you like. You can also find information regarding each sides of beliefs mostly from political and historical sources. In the end, it depends on what you believe in.

What were two main compromises of the constitutional convention and how did it effect the government?

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise)
The Three-Fifths Compromise

The two compromises affected the way a state's representation in Congress would be determined.

Explanation:

Both of these compromises were devised during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.

The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states. The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation. The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population. In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery. For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures. (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.) The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.

The new jersey plan proposed to keep a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state.

jonny [76]

The answer is True.

When creating the legislative branch, representation was an issue that was argued over constantly. The small states, like New Jersey, wanted all states to have the same representation regardless of their states population. However, big states like Virginia wanted states with more population to have more power. These two sides come to a compromise (called the Connecticut Compromise) which states that the amount of representatives in the House will be based on population while every state will have 2 senators in the Senate.
