Question

b. slavery and representation
c. states rights and executive authority
d. trade and taxation

Explanation:

The Three - Fifths Compromise was reached during the U.S. Constitutional Convention. It dealt with how slaves would be counted for the purposes of representation and taxation. Southern states wanted slaves to be fully counted for representation but not for taxation, while northern states had the opposite view. The compromise counted each slave as three - fifths of a person for both representation and taxation, thus resolving conflicts over slavery and representation issues.

Answer:

B. slavery and representation
