The Legislative branch. The Great Compromise basically created equal power between big states and little states. Little states had fair advantage in the Senate, big states had a fair advantage in the House of Reps. The 3/5's compromise helped create even more equal power, because the little states thought it an unfair advantage to the southern states who's popultion was larger because of slaves. Therefore, slaves were counted as "3/5" a person.

Answer

The representation of states in Congress

Explanation

The great Compromise was an agreement that was reached by both large and small states during the constitutional convention that defined the legislative structure and the representation that each state would have under the United states of America. It was important because it was decided by the two house structure of the legislative government and it was the combination of two plans that had different views of how best to represent the people of the United States.. It represented the state in congress.

The three fifth compromise was a process which was outlined for the states to count the slaves as the part of the population in order to determine the representation and taxation for the federal government.The Three Fifths Compromise resolved the issue of counting slaves towards population in regards to representation in the House of Representatives and dealt with the representation of states in Congress
