Answer 1

None of the options you listed (the Three-Fifths Compromise, the Great Compromise, or the Connecticut Compromise) specifically required all states to return fugitive slaves to their owners.

The requirement for states to return fugitive slaves is actually found in the U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 2, often referred to as the Fugitive Slave Clause. However, it is not among the options provided.

If you are looking for a direct answer based on common knowledge, it's that the Fugitive Slave Clause in the Constitution is the correct reference for the return of fugitive slaves.

Answer 2

pick one

Answer 3

Since none of the options you provided directly refer to the law requiring the return of fugitive slaves, I would suggest picking the Three-Fifths Compromise as it was one of the significant compromises made during the Constitutional Convention related to slavery, but please note that it does not address the issue of fugitive slaves specifically.

However, if you are strictly looking for the option that is most closely associated with issues regarding slavery in the context of the Constitution, you might choose that one.
