Question: The three-fifths compromise enabled the slave states to have more representatives in

the House of Representatives.

True or false ?

Answer: The answer is True because the Three-fifths Compromise was an agreement reached during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention over the counting of slaves in determining a state's total population. This count would determine the number of seats in the House of Representatives.
