False. The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 regarding how enslaved individuals would be counted for purposes of representation and taxation. It determined that three-fifths of the enslaved population would be counted when apportioning representatives to the House of Representatives. However, the creation of the two-house Congress (the bicameral legislature composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate) was a separate aspect of the U.S. Constitution, influenced by the Great Compromise (or Connecticut Compromise).
