Answer: B - The Three-Fifths Compromise was the final resolution at the Constitutional Convention following a lengthy debate about slavery and the disproportionate representation of Northerners over Southerners in the House of Representatives. The compromise ordered that slavery remain legal in the new country and that all slaves would be counted in the census upon which Congressional representation is assessed as three-fifths a person, which kept the North and South balanced in the lower House.
