How did the 3/5ths Compromise address the idea of representation

History
1 answer:
Sliva [168]3 years ago
8 0

The Three-Fifths Compromise addressed a dispute over representation between  slave states and non-slave states.

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.

Why was steel a more effective building material than iron in the late 1800s?
ExtremeBDS [4]
Before the 1800s, builders used cast iron. But they found that structural steel beams set in concrete allowed them to frame tall buildings that were more fire resistant and more structurally sound than cast iron. Since that time, steel has not only become the best building material for commercial construction but closely tied to economic health.

How did the practice of using enslaved workers support the southern economy?
leonid [27]
Slaves did most of the laboring work in the South. They took care of the crops, cotton at the most, as it was the largest crop supply in the South. The breeding and trading of slaves also ensured that there would be enough workers to go around. White Southern slave owners usually had large plots of land, which they needed plenty of workers to help harvest, plant, and more. Slaves also worked inside the house, as maids or servants or butlers. I believe there were also a few who were taught to drive horse-drawn carriages and coaches, so that they may drive their owners around. Slaves were what gave the Southern community their money, food, and were the base-makers of clothing.
