Which compromises in the Constitution are present in Article I: The Legislative Branch? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

There are no explicit compromises mentioned in Article I of the Constitution. However, some compromises that influenced the structure of the legislative branch include:

1. The Great Compromise: It resolved the issue of representation by creating a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives being representative based on population and the Senate providing equal representation for each state.

2. The Three-Fifths Compromise: It determined that enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of both representation in the House of Representatives and direct taxation.

Both of these compromises were reflected in the legislative structure outlined in Article I, but are not specifically mentioned in the article itself.
