History

Luda [366]3 years ago

Answer:

Three-fifths compromise, compromise agreement between delegates from the Northern and the Southern states at the United States Constitutional Convention (1787) that three-fifths of the slave population would be counted for determining direct taxation and representation in the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

this was made due to disputes over the idea that slaves could count for a states overall population, and if that was the case several southern states would have a large influence due to a large population of slaves. hence the agreement that a slave could only count for 3/5th of a man, reducing the overall influence/'population' of the southern states.

What was the main effect of the Supreme Court's 1896 ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

It legitimized the establishment of a segregated society in the Southern states.

Explanation:

In the Plessy v. Ferguson Case (1896), the Supreme Court ruled that racially segregated public facilities (common in the Southern States) were legal because they did not imply any discrimination against African Americans as long as they were consistent to the doctrine of "separate but equal" which provided segregated but equal facilities (in terms of quality) to both white and non-white people. As a result, this case legitimized the establishment of a segregated society in the Southern states and allowed for discrimination to continue because, in reality, segregated facilities were rarely equal.
