The correct answer is:<em> B. Only three-fourths of the enslaved population would be counted when calculating each state's representation.</em>
The Three Fifths Compromise <em>defined the process for states to count their slave population to determine representation and taxation. </em>This Compromise was made during <em>The Constitutional Convention of 1787 </em>that had as main goal to allocate the number of electoral votes each state would have in presidencial elections and the distribution of the House of Representatives according to the state's population. States with a large number of slaves wanted to count the entire slave population and the states with little slave population wanted to count only free people so the Three Fifths Compromise stated that they would count three out of every five slaves.
Answer: B. only <em>three-fifths</em> of the enslaved population would be counted when calculating each state's representation in Congress.
The Three-Fifths Compromise was reached during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. The question was whether the slave population would count when determining a state total's population number, which would be used to determine the number of seats that each state would have in the House of Representatives.
The compromise that was reached was to count every three out of five slaves as a person for this purpose. It gave the Southern states a third more seats in Congress than if slaves had been ignored.
Nonfiction books are grouped together by subject to make it easier to find a book related to a specific topic. The system that most libraries use to organize books was invented by Melvil Dewey and it is called the Dewey Decimal System. Each book is assigned a three-digit call number based on what the book is about.
