Question

Although the Three-Fifths Compromise encouraged the South to ratify the Constitution, it didn't solve the problem of ___________; instead, it made the problem continue to be an issue

Answer 1

slavery

Step-by-step explanation:

During the time, a problem arose in regards to state representation and taxation. The South wanted to include slaves in their numbers when deciding their number of representatives by population, but the North disagreed due to the large amount of slaves held by the South. However, when deciding the issue of taxation, the North wished to include slaves when deciding the percentage of taxation, a movement severely opposed by the South. The Three-Fifths Compromise resolved this issue by granting both the North and South a bit of their desires. However, this caused the South to continue to trade in slaves because of the benefit gained through them.

Answer 2

Slavery.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the Three-Fifths Compromise encouraged the South to ratify the Constitution, it didn't solve the problem of slavery; instead, it made the problem continue to be an issue.

Both the North and the South wanted representation in the House of Representatives. They both argued how this representation should be counted though. The South wanted to be able to count their slaves as their population, meaning they would get more representation in the House of Representatives. The North did not believe that slaves should be counted towards the population, as the South saw them as property and not as people.

The Three-Fifths Compromise made it so that three-fifths of a state's slave numbers would be counted towards the population. This was good for both the North and the South.
