Question 6 • 8th Grade US History & Geography A

Which compromises solved the biggest challenges to ratifying the Constitution?

Answer
A
The formation of an executive branch and a judicial branch
B
The Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise
C
The Three-Fifths Compromise and the Articles of Confederation
D
The Great Compromise and the formation of a legislative branch

Explanation

The Great Compromise resolved disagreement over how states would be represented in Congress: the House would reflect population, while each state would have equal representation in the Senate. The Three-Fifths Compromise addressed how enslaved people would be counted for representation and taxation. Together, these compromises tackled major disputes among delegates; the Articles of Confederation was the earlier national government, not a compromise used to ratify the Constitution.
