the Connecticut Compromise

Answer 1

it is one of them

Answer 2

The requirement for all states to return fugitive slaves to their owners is found in the **Fugitive Slave Clause** of the U.S. Constitution, specifically in Article IV, Section 2. However, none of the options you provided (the Three-Fifths Compromise, the Great Compromise, or the Connecticut Compromise) specifically refer to this requirement.

If you need to select one of the options, none directly apply, but it’s important to note that the Fugitive Slave Clause was part of the overall compromises made during the formation of the Constitution, which included many aspects addressing slavery.

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is:

**the Three-Fifths Compromise.**

The Three-Fifths Compromise is related to the context of slavery in the Constitution, which also involved clauses that addressed fugitive slaves. The clause requiring states to return fugitive slaves is part of the Constitution but isn't a standalone compromise; however, since the options provided are limited, this is the most closely associated choice in the context of shaping how slavery was addressed in the Constitution. Thank you for your patience!
