why the structure set up by the Great Compromise is still in effect today while the structure established by the Three-Fifth Com
Charra [1.4K]
<span>The Great was retained because it <span>merged proposals from large states and small states about congressional apportionment. Eventually, the main contribution was in defining the apportionment of the senate, and thus retaining a federal character in the constitution. It was proposed that the proportion of suffrage in the 1st. branch [house] should depend on the respective numbers of free people.  It added that for the second branch or Senate, each State should have no more than one vote.  Though this plan failed it was finally resolved and an amended version of this plan was included.  Benjamin Franklin made modifications so that each state big or small was represented in the senate.  The Three-Fifths Compromise was no longer retained because it focused whether or not to include slaves in the total population count and victory in the Civil War ended slavery making it null.</span></span>

Labor unions were formed in the late 1880s, after they were formed, factory life changed dramatically.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Part A: Working hours changed from around 14 hours a day before the 1880's to being reduced slowly down to 12, then 10, eventually moving to an 8 hour day. This change allowed for workers to to have more time to sleep and for leisure. Another change was the end of child labor. Similar to the decrease in hours, the minimum age increased over time as well moving from 10 to 16.

Part B: One strategy used by unions to achieve these goals were strikes. Workers would leave the job and picket outside of a job which shut down operations. This tactic did not work at first because there were plenty of workers to fill the jobs. However, when immigration slowed the tactic had more impact with no people to fill the jobs. Some strikes were so large they brought the attention of police forces and the government.
