Compromise as an Enabler of Enduring Public Policy

Abstract: A 5 page paper discussing whether compromise has helped or hindered formation of public policy. An ideal world likely would be one in which issues were either black or white, good or bad. Compromise results in varying shades of gray with which neither side is truly happy, but all can find workable. Without compromise in determining public policy, immobilization results and the society makes very little progress toward anything but stagnation. While compromise may not always appear attractive, it is nonetheless the most efficient and workable route toward progress and growth. The paper uses James Madison's compromise with The Bill of Rights as an example. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
