Question

According to the 1790 Census, Virginia had nearly twice as many residents as Massachusetts. Yet Virginia only had two more representatives in Congress than Massachusetts. What does this tell us about the impact of the Three-Fifths Compromise?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is : It says that Virginia had more slaves than Massachusetts

Step-by-step explanation: In the first congress Virginia had the most members in the house of representatives. The three-fifths compromise was an agreement, made at the 1787 Constitutional Convention. The compromise gave the South more power than it would have had if enslaved people had not been counted.
