Answer:

Northerners opposed counting slaves as part of the population if they had no rights, while southerners supported counting slaves. According to the compromise, five slaves would count as three free persons when calculating how many representatives each state received in the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise established during the 1787 Philadelphia Convention between the colonies of the North and the South. This compromise considered, in the rules for counting people represented in the House of Representatives, that a slave was counted up to three fifths of a free man.  

The question was important, as the population count would then be used to determine the number of seats each state would have in the US House of Representatives. The Compromise gave a disproportionate representation of the slave states in the House of Representatives compared to the voters in the free states until the Civil War.

What was the product of tiberius and gaius gracchus attempted reforms lesson quiz 7-2?
Ierofanga [76]

The Gracchus reforms which took place in second century B.C by brothers Tiberius and Gaius; esentially attempted to return the land to small farmers (Plebeians) from the hands of the wealthy class (Patricians).

The immediate outcome of this struggle was instability in Rome and the assassination of both brothers directly by the hand of the senators in broad daylight with absolute impunity, this, showing the power of the senate in republican Rome, as well as, how difficult it was to change the situation.

Historians at the time even claim that within 15 years after the Gracchus reforms, the Plebeians were in a much worse position than before, many of them reduced to unemployment.

The outcome in the long term was no good for plebeians either. The reforms had no permanent effect, some of them were repealed at once while some continued with weak effects over time. Land problems and differences between classes plagued Rome at all times thereafter.
