Answer: A. a disagreement between the states over representation in Congress.
The main disagreement was over whether representation would be the same for all states, or based on a state's population size. Then there was also a question, for basing representation on population size, about whether slaves counted in a state's population or not.
The Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise were worked out during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787 in order to resolve these issues.
- The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states. Initially, a unicameral (one-chamber) legislature was envisioned. 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.

A contract is an agreement, usually written out on a legal document, in which it states terms and agreements, as well as rewards that would be given at the end when the terms are met.
For example, a contract for assassination may be posted out in the black market. An assassin would then agree to take on the requirement of the contract. If it is met, the payment would be given to the assassin. If not, then the contract becomes void. This makes contracts important because the terms and everything is written down, and can be looked on for future references.

Slavery was a hotly debated topic at the Constitutional Convention. On one hand, Southern states wanted slaves to count towards population. This would increase the amount of representatives the Southern states had in the House of Representatives.
On the other hand, the South did not want slaves to count towards the population because this would result in the Southern states paying more direct taxes to the federal government.
The North felt the opposite than the South. Nonetheless, this issue was solved by the 3/5ths Compromise. This compromise stated that every 5 slaves would count as 3 people towards a states population for both representation and taxation.
