How did passing law banning slavery in the northern states lead to a more divided nation?

History

Ghella [55]2 years ago

I think this is because the Southern states were heavily reliant on slave labor because of the agricultural economy flourishing there and the South supported slavery while the North did not. The slaves provided cheap labor for the plantations in the South and they believed that their region's economy would be destroyed without slaves. The North had more urban cities which did not require much slave labor and had an overall moral opposition to slavery. With their opposing views and constant tension, the South eventually started to secede from the Union. Hope this helped!

What were two main compromises of the constitutional convention and how did it effect the government?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

  • The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise)
  • The Three-Fifths Compromise

The two compromises affected the way a state's representation in Congress would be determined.

Explanation:

Both of these compromises were devised during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  

The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery.  For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures.  (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.)   The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.
