Upton Sinclair's famous novel, "The Jungle," was a scathing critique of the situation that existed in American factories in the beginning of the 20th century. The book highlighted the poor sanitation and worker standards that existed in meat packing and processing plants. As a result of the book Congress enacted two major pieces of legislation seeking to address the problems addressed in the book. The first was the "Meat Inspection Act", and the second was the "Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906."

many delegates of the convention wanted to create a new constitution. What was the three-fifths compromise?

beks73 [17]

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise reached among state delegates during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. Whether, and if so, how, slaves would be counted when determining a state's total population for legislative representation and taxing purposes was important, as this population number would then be used to determine the number of seats that the state would have in the United States House of Representatives for the next ten years. The compromise solution was to count three out of every five slaves as a person for this purpose. Its effect was to give the southern states a third more seats in Congress and a third more electoral votes than if slaves had been ignored, but fewer than if slaves and free people had been counted equally, thus allowing the slaveholder interests to largely dominate the government of the United States until 1861. The compromise was proposed by delegates James Wilson and Roger Sherman.
