The order in the box is A House and Senate, one representing all states equally, and one representing based on population

What was the Three-Fifths Compromise

The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in the United States. It dealt with the issue of how enslaved individuals would be counted for the purpose of determining a state's total population and its representation in the House of Representatives.

The compromise stipulated that, for the purpose of representation and taxation, enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person toward a state's total population.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include the options for this question. However, we can say the following.

The correct statement is "A House and Senate, one representing all states equally, and one representing based on population."

That sentence is what completes the information about the Connecticut Compromise.

Roger Sherman with the help of Oliver Ellsworth, formulated the so-called Connecticut Plan, suggesting the creation of a two-chamber legislature for the United States Congress. Both politicians were delegates from Connecticut during the Constitutional Convention held at the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1787. The plan was proposed on July 16, 1787.
