which of the following is true?
neither of the above
the american revolution began in massachusetts.
the american revolution began before the declaration of independence.
both of the above

Explanation:

1. For the first question, the Three - Fifths Compromise determined that for the purposes of representation and taxation, each slave would be counted as three - fifths of a person. The New Jersey Compromise dealt with the structure of the legislature (equal representation for each state in one house), the Virginia Compromise proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population in one house. There is no "Two - Thirds Compromise" related to slave - counting for representation.
2. For the second question, the American Revolution began with the battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts in 1775. The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776. So the American Revolution began before the Declaration of Independence.

Answer:

Question 17: C. Three - Fifths Compromise
Question 18: D. Both of the above
