Justinian I's wife, Theodora, is remembered and admired for ruling beside him as the Byzantine empress (527-565) who used her political influence to create policies that protected certain rights of women such as laws that prohibited the traffic in young girls and laws regarding divorce that gave more benefits to women. And she promoted the sponsorship and foundation of homes for former prostitutes that sought to reenter society.

Likewise, she also succeeded in ending the persecution against the miaphysites, and helped those most in need through sponsorship of the foundation of many institutions such as orphanages and hospitals.

the three-fifths compromise was proposed by james wilson and roger sherman, who were both delegates for the constitutional convention of 1787. however, the three-fifth compromise has its roots further back in history, dating back to the continental congress in 1783. the compromise was a result of the apportionment of taxes being related to land values.
