Question

the three-fifths compromise established which of the following?

a two-house (bicameral) federal legislature made up of an upper and a lower house

a weak executive branch of the federal government

only part of the slave population counting toward representation

a timeline of 20 years before congress could limit the slave trade

Explanation:

The Three - Fifths Compromise was an agreement reached during the Constitutional Convention. It stated that three - fifths of the slave population would be counted for the purposes of determining a state's representation in the House of Representatives and for direct taxation.

• The option "a two - house (bicameral) federal legislature made up of an upper and a lower house" refers to the Great Compromise (Connecticut Compromise), not the Three - Fifths Compromise.
• The option "a weak executive branch of the federal government" is not related to the Three - Fifths Compromise; the structure of the executive branch was determined by other constitutional provisions.
• The option "a timeline of 20 years before Congress could limit the slave trade" was part of the Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise, not the Three - Fifths Compromise.
• The option "only part of the slave population counting toward representation" matches the definition of the Three - Fifths Compromise.

Answer:

only part of the slave population counting toward representation
