Answer:

The correct answer is :

  • Equal representation of the legislature
  • It protected the slave trade

Step-by-step explanation:

What this Compromise settled was the issue of equal representation of the legislature. It was able to do that by enacting a bicameral legislature. It also gave Congress the power to control interstate commerce. It protected the slave trade by limiting Congresses power. Also, the imposing export taxes were forbidden.
