Question

True or false. The three fifths compromise fave is our two house comgress

Answer 1

False. The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement made during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that determined how slaves would be counted for representation and taxation purposes. Specifically, it stated that each slave would be counted as three-fifths of a person. This compromise did not create or directly relate to the structure of the two-house Congress. The two-house Congress, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate, was established through the Great Compromise (or Connecticut Compromise), which created a bicameral legislature.
