One result was that justices appointed to the Supreme Court were also primarily slave owners the planter elite dominated the Southern Congressional delegations and the United States presidency for nearly 50 years. . A statute enacted as part of the compromise prohibited the slave trade but allowed slavery itself in the District of Columbia. Southerners in Congress were unanimous in opposing that provision which was seen as a concession to the abolitionists but they were outvoted. Seminary General Hospital McClurg McHenry Rush and Williamson were physicians, George Fitzhugh used assumptions about white superiority to justify slavery writing that "the Negro is but a grown up child and must be governed as a child." in the Universal Law of Slavery Fitzhugh argues that slavery provides everything necessary for life and that the slave is unable to survive in a free world because he is lazy and cannot compete with the intelligent European white race He states that "The negro slaves of the South are the happiest and in some sense the freest people in the world."

Lobbying became a big factor despite the 1971 Federal Election Campaign Act Political action committees or PACs could make substantive donations to congressional candidates via such means as soft money contributions. While soft money funds were not given to specific campaigns for candidates the money often benefited candidates substantially in an indirect way and helped reelect candidates. Reforms such as the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act limited campaign donations but did not limit soft money contributions. One source suggests post-Watergate laws amended in 1974 meant to reduce the "influence of wealthy contributors and end payoffs" instead "legitimized PACs" since they "enabled individuals to band together in support of candidates". From 1974 to 1984 PACs grew from 608 to 3,803 and donations leaped from $12.5 million to $120 million along with concern over PAC influence in Congress in 2009 there were 4,600 business labor and special-interest PACs including ones for lawyers electricians and real estate brokers. From 2007 to 2008 175 members of Congress received "half or more of their campaign cash" from PACs.
