Answer:  Because each state was looking out for its own 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.

The document is about the invasions on the Christians by barbarians and heathens and the troubles that were being caused.

2. This document type is an account of invasions and wars. It was written to discover the pattern of invasions and wars that were happening.

3. This document corroborates the textbook account of A. The reason it matches A is because of the similarity between both. Textbook A is about the lawlessness and turmoil that was persistent in Europe in the dark ages.

4. Yes I think it is a reliable piece of evidence. This is because, the accounts of C already said that the heathen invaded and broke into Christendom. This agrees with the barbarism that was described in A.
