1 answer:

8 0

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise reached between delegates from southern states and those from northern states during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. The debate was over whether, and if so, how, slaves would be counted when determining a state's total population for legislative representation and taxing purposes. The issue 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.

In your opinion, do you believe that Senator McCarthy took it too far when accusing these people of being connected to communism

Sauron [17]

Answer: Many of the communists rooted out by McCarthy and his allies were spies or had ties to Russia. Alger Hiss is one of these spies, but was convicted rather for perjuring himself on this charge. I believe he (McCarthy) was right in doing what he did, as rather than allowing such people to take root in our government, he fought back against them.
