Question

which solution was proposed by the three-fifths compromise?
the government would have five branches of congress, two based on state population and three on an equal number of representatives.
each state would have three-fifths of their representation based on their population and two-fifths based on the size of their state.
each state would have equal power by having five representatives each in one branch of congress and three representatives in another.
each enslaved person would represent three-fifths of a person in a states population.

Explanation:

The Three - Fifths Compromise was about how enslaved people were counted for purposes of representation and taxation. It stipulated that each enslaved person would be counted as three - fifths of a person in a state's population. The other options do not accurately describe the Three - Fifths Compromise: the first option's description of Congress branches is incorrect, the second option's basis of representation (mix of population and state size) is wrong, and the third option's equal power with set representatives is not related to the compromise.

Answer:

Each enslaved person would represent three - fifths of a person in a state's population.
