Answer: The great compromise balanced concerns about congressional representation based on population while, The Three-Fifths Compromise settled matters of representation when it came to the enslaved population of southern states and the importation of enslaved Africans. The better compromise is the Three-Fifths Compromise as it gave the Southern states more electoral power than they would have had if the enslaved population had been ignored entirely.
