Answer:
- The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise)
- The Three-Fifths Compromise
The two compromises affected the way a state's representation in Congress would be determined.
Explanation:
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 "Big Three" countries were the United States, Great Britain and Russia. They were called this because they were by far the most important allied players during the war, with Russia and Britain taking on most of the casualties.

The three liens are extremely economical at setting up the situation for the rest of the play here. The lines first convey that the parents are enraged and that the children are at fault. It also shows that they cannot do anything about it.
The last line deftly tells the audience that they are going to be stuck in traffic for 2 hours effectively making them struck in the same situation for the duration.
This becomes the setting of the play by introducing the main conflict and the time frame of it.
