History

It had to do with political power.
Slave-holding states wanted to include slaves
who were unable to cast ballots in their
political representation in Congress. Non-slave
states perceived this as a ruse to exert
influence over the newly formed government.
This topic has been covered in a lot of writing.
Contrary to some who assert that shows how
the founders thought about black people, they
address the problem of political
representation. Since they now had more
representation in the halls of government than
the non-slave states, many in the slave states
viewed this as a victory. Most individuals who
opposed slavery simply wanted to count the
free people in a population, but those who
supported it wanted to count slaves as well. As
a result, slave owners would be represented in
the Electoral College and the House of
Representatives by a greater number of seats.
Numerous ratios were taken into
consideration, including three-fourths, half,
and one-quarter. James Madison would
propose the Three-Fifths Compromise after
much discussion.

Essentially, it had to do with political power. Slave-holding states wanted to include slaves who were unable to cast ballots in their political representation in Congress. Non-slave states perceived this as a ruse to exert influence over the newly formed government. This topic has been covered in a lot of writing. Contrary to some who assert that shows how the founders thought about black people, they address the problem of political representation. Since they now had more representation in the halls of government than the non-slave states, many in the slave states viewed this as a victory. Most individuals who opposed slavery simply wanted to count the free people in a population, but those who supported it wanted to count slaves as well. As a result, slave owners would be represented in the Electoral College and the House of Representatives by a greater number of seats. Numerous ratios were taken into consideration, including three-fourths, half, and one-quarter. James Madison would propose the Three-Fifths Compromise after much discussion. The Three-Fifths Compromise was not accepted by all of the states, and the Articles of Confederation needed a unanimous vote. As a result, the Compromise was not ratified until the Constitutional Convention. The Three-Fifths Compromise would dramatically increase slave-owning states' political clout and representation. If the Southern states had been represented equally, 33 seats in the House of Representatives would have gone to them. However, as a result of the Three-Fifths Compromise, the Southern states did have 47 seats in the House of Representatives of the first American Congress in 1790. As a result, by accumulating enough political influence, the South would be able to take control of presidential elections.

In what way was the culture of Ancient Rome similar to that of Ancient Greece ?
bekas [8.4K]
I would say either A or B. Roman art and mythology was based off of the work of the Greeks, who existed a few hundred years before Christ. Roman gods and goddesses in particular, were very similar to that of the Greeks but with slightly different attributes or names. Because of this, I would be more inclined to say the answer is B.

Select the THREE reasons that some of the colonists gave for not supporting the Revolution.
lesya692 [45]
England Could not be defeated is something most colonists believed. After all, if it was not for the support of the French, the United States probably would have been a British colony for quite some time.

The Colonies needed the protection of British Troops- Who else is going to help protect America from foreign invasion.

<span>The cost of independence would be too high in human lives. 
Many colonists relied on Britain for imports such as paper, glass, tea.
