Answer:  Because each state was looking out for its personal interests in regard to representation in Congress.

Details:

The Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise both focused on  the representation of states in Congress.   Both of these compromises were devised during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  

  • The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
  • The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery.  For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures.  (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.)   The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.

15. Most of Shakespeare’s plays fall into one of three categories, what are the categories? Name at least one play in each categ
Darina [25.2K]

The work of the English  English poet, playwright and actor, William Shakespeare, falls into <em>three main categories: the plays, the sonnets, and the poems</em>. The plays are further divided into three categories: the comedies, the histories, the tragedies, and the romances. The comedies The Merchant of Venice and A Midsummer Night's Dream are examples of this cathegory. As well as the tragedy Romeo and Juliet.

Regarding the second category, the sonnets, the traditional Shakespearean Sonnet form has 14 lines comprised of three quatrains (four-line stanzas) and one rhyming couplet (two-line stanza). Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets that were published and have survived into perpetuity. One example of them is “From you have I been absent in the spring (Sonnet 98)”

Finally, examples of the Poems' category are the poems  Venus and Adonis and The Phoenix and the Turtle.
