Alijah Baldwin · Answer 2

The correct answer is B.

The Three-Fifths Compromise stated that three out of five slaves would be taken into account when calculating the total population of the states.

The resulting total population was important because it determined the number of seats in the legislative federal chamber and the amount of taxes that the federal goverment should charge on each state.
