Answer 1

D. The Three-Fifths Compromise

Step-by-step explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in the United States. It determined that enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person for the purpose of determining a state's population. This compromise resolved the issue of how enslaved individuals would be counted in determining representation in the House of Representatives and the distribution of taxes among the states.
