One of the big ones I see is letting the elected be in charge of how elections are run. This serves no point or purpose other than a compromise to the currently already sitting states.

Also our senate vs representatives model. There is nothing wrong with this, even though it doesn't exist anymore (17th amendment). However it's obvious this was a compromise point because the constitution had to adhere to already sitting states.

Like what? Southern states wanted full counting of negros in the census. Northern states wanted to exclude negros from the census. The compromise was 3/5 per negro. This is the only slave related issue I know about from the Constitutional convention.
