Editing Connecticut Compromise (section)

==Constitution==
Senate representation was explicitly protected in [[Article Five of the United States Constitution]]:

{{quote|...no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/constitution/article-v.html | title =The Constitution of the United states Article V | author =National Archives and Records Administration | author-link =National Archives and Records Administration | publisher =archives.gov}}</ref>}}

This agreement allowed deliberations to continue and thus led to the [[Three-fifths Compromise]], which further complicated the issue of popular representation in the House.
