Why were so many compromises made while the constitution was being written

Compromises of the constitution were made, because the founding fathers not only wanted to make a lasting constitution, they wanted to make sure it would make it through the "rookie" years of it being first introduced. It also set the precedent for other countries on not only that it this works, but you have to be willing to put in everyone’s opinions and thoughts on what their democracy should be. They were also made because the idea of a democracy for and run by the people was such a strange and foreign concept back then were their only example was ancient Athens, therefore they all had different ideas on what the government should be, a confederation, a direct democracy, etc. So they all had to be willing to shoot ideas, and agree with each other or at least respect one another’s  opinion
