5. what was the three-fifths compromise?

ANSWER:

Three-fifths compromise was a law which was introduced in 1787. The law stated that slaves will be counted as three/fifth of a male or a female.

EXPLANATION:

For example, if there are a total of 5 slaves, then it will be counted as 3 persons out of the total population. Now consider number of people in a country, if '500 slaves' and 'five thousand citizens', the population will be counted as "five thousand three hundred" rather than "fifteen hundred".

The correct answer is C) the highest class of social rank.

As city-states increased in size, control of record, taxes, and the military was the role of the highest class of social rank.

During the early civilizations, as city-states increased in size, the highest class of social rank had the most important privileges such as the control of the record, taxes, and the military. These high-class rulers emerged as the leaders and governors of many territories that were continually expanding to gain power and dominion over those regions. They used religious beliefs and different level of education to keep the hierarchy system operating.
