Question

Once the delegates settled the Great Compromise, what issue did they tackle next?

the New Jersey Plan
the Virginia Plan
the Electoral process for the presidency
the Three-Fifths Compromise

Answer 1

After the delegates settled the Great Compromise, which established a bicameral legislature with representation based on population in the House of Representatives and equal representation in the Senate, they tackled the issue of the Three-Fifths Compromise. This compromise addressed how slaves would be counted for the purposes of representation and taxation, determining that three-fifths of the enslaved population would be counted in the population totals used for apportioning representation in the House of Representatives.
