Explanation:

Model Parliament, parliament called by King Edward I of England in 1295 that is widely regarded as the first representative parliament. It included not only archbishops and bishops but also archdeacons and one proctor for each cathedral and two for each diocese, marking the first time the lower orders of clergy were represented. In addition, there were two knights from each shire, two citizens from each city, and two burgesses from each borough. Seven earls and 42 barons were also summoned.

The parliament was called, as was standard practice, because the king sought financial support for the wars that he was prosecuting in Scotland and in France. In summoning the parliament, Edward wrote,

Inasmuch as a most righteous law of the emperors ordains that what touches all should be approved by all, so it evidently appears that common dangers should be met by remedies agreed upon in common.

Each of the estates—clergy, nobles, and commons—met separately to consider the request. The clergy agreed to contribute a tenth of their income, and the barons and knights offered an eleventh of theirs, while the boroughs were willing to donate a seventh.

For the next several years, the pattern of those summoned for parliaments varied from assembly to assembly, depending on Edward’s decision, but eventually all parliaments came to be composed of the three estates, those from the commons being chosen by election. Although some earlier parliaments had similar compositions and subsequent parliaments did not all follow the precedent of the Model Parliament, historians regard that assembly as a turning point in the development of the English system of government.

Which issue was at the heart of one of the compromises made between northern and southern states during the Constitutional Conve
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Counting slaves in the population.

Explanation:

The weakness of the national government to not able tax, could not implement the laws it passed, and could not control trade lead to the revision of Article of Confederation. Such and other shortcomings, along with a rise in national opinion, led to the Constitutional Convention, which convened from May to September 1787. Representatives from southern states wanted slaves to be counted in terms of representation, however, northern states felt that slaves ought not to be counted towards representation because counting them would provide more representatives for the South. The negotiation between the two sides came to be known as the compromise of three-fifths because in terms of representation every five slaves would be counted as three individuals.
