Question

The Compromise of 1808 based representation in the General Assembly on:

a. total population (black and white)
b. both white population and wealth
c. white population only
d. wealth only

Answer 1

b. both white population and wealth

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1808 the General Assembly passed a constitutional amendment that apportioned the S.C. House of Representatives according to white population and taxation.

Thus, one representative would represent 1/62 of the state's population and one would represent 1/62 of taxes collected.
