The Great Compromise saved the Constitutional Convention, and, probably, the Union. Authored by Connecticut delegate Roger Sherman, it called for proportional representation in the House, and one representative per state in the Senate (this was later changed to two.) The compromise passed 5-to-4, with one state, Massachusetts, “divided.”
This book examines humorous depictions of political leaders in the television era. Both humorous and informative, the book allows readers to learn more about the leaders examined within and how they acquired their popular reputations and how their careers were impacted.
Reading Day is tomorrow, Tues., Dec. 3, and exams start Wed., Dec. 4.

1. Deadlines Matter! When you were in school, making a mistake on a test or handing in work late only affected you. But at work, mistakes can impact your boss, your co-workers and your company. People might end up staying late to fix your work, miss their own deadlines or lose important business because of you.
“Teachers may extend deadlines or allow makeup assignments, but in the business world that won’t work. If you are having trouble meeting a deadline or prioritizing your tasks, ask for guidance from your manager before the deadline has passed,” said Kim Jones, VP at Toshiba America Business Solutions.
