Question 2 • MI-Government/Civics 2023

How was the Three-Fifths Compromise like the Great Compromise?

Answer
A
It gave states the power to determine their own populations.
B
It determined how states would be represented in Congress.
C
It became a way for Northern states to gain more representation.
D
It determined that states would have equal representation in the Senate.

Explanation

Both compromises affected how states were represented in Congress. The Great Compromise created a House with representation based on population and a Senate with equal representation for each state. The Three-Fifths Compromise counted three-fifths of the enslaved population when determining a state’s representation in the House. It did not give states control over their populations or create equal Senate representation.
