Answer:
- The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise)
- The Three-Fifths Compromise
The two compromises affected the way a state's representation in Congress would be determined.
Explanation:
Both of these compromises were devised during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.
The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states. The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation. The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population. In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
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.
In the late 1980 and early 1990s the fall of Communism and the replacement of republics sent world peace. The world did not have to worry about Nuclear Annihilation. As during the Cold War both sides had nuclear weapons and the world came close to nuclear annihilation. The fall of the U.S.S.R made the United States the sole superpower.
