Question

which conclusion about the constitutional convention is best supported by the following headlines?

• “new congress to have two houses”
• “slaves to count as three - fifths of a person”
• “civil liberties guaranteed to be protected”

states with large populations controlled the outcome of the convention through force

states with smaller populations would lose power in the new constitution

the framers of the constitution gave all states equal power under the new constitution

the framers of the constitution were able to compromise on important issues

Explanation:

The headlines show different compromises. The two - house Congress was a compromise between large and small states (Connecticut Compromise). The three - fifths compromise dealt with how slaves were counted for representation and taxation. Guaranteeing civil liberties was also a result of negotiation. These indicate that the framers compromised on important issues.

Answer:

The framers of the Constitution were able to compromise on important issues
