and so the innovations in that time came from, you know, galveston and toledo and the wyoming territories. and the isle of kansas. the american high school, god did not invent american high schools. high schools were invented by small towns in iowa and kansas and the midwest in this period so that kids -- with the idea that these are all our kids, we're all going to be better off if we give them a free secondary education, you know, free secondary education. that turned out -- and then the idea spread across america. that turned out to be the best public policy decision america has ever taken. because that massive investment in giving a free college education -- a high school education to everybody in america it raised the level of what economists call human capital in america and accounts for almost all of our growth in the 20th century. and at the same time it leveled the playing field because everybody got the -- it might have been a little bit of a hard sell to say to the rich farmer or banker or, you know, or lawyer in town the your kids are already off to chicago, but you should pay

i said, why does wyoming have two senators? is very serious guy, he did not pick up on the question. -- senators? a very serious guy, he did not pick up on the question. anyway. i think here is the common supposition. giving each state and equal vote was a true compromise. compromise in the best sense of the term. while the 3/5 clause over slavery was a moral failure. politically unnecessary. so, the position i am going to argue as i am very much against giving each state and he will -- and equal vote in the senate -- that was kind of madison's solution. if you guys go back to the prior slide. as far as the 3/5 clause, i want to make clear from the beginning -- i am not defending slavery. i am not arguing that african-americans are .6 of caucasians or others, which is not actually what the 3/5 clause does. what i am saying, there is a very significant basis for understanding there is a much deeper compromise in the sense of a longer lasting compromise meant to be incorporated into the 3/5 laws. i will explain my as i go on. aga
