The three main issues that arose at the debates during the Constitutional Convention include: slavery, Congressional Representation (in favor of big or small states), and the new Executive branch.
Smaller states and larger states debated over representation in Congress and put forth the New Jersey plan (in favor of smaller states) and the Virginia plan (in favor of smaller states). States debated whether representation should be decided by state wealth, size, and/or population. Also debated was the issue of slavery. Many southern state economies depended on slaves and slave labor, yet many northern states asserted that slavery was unconstitutional and/or immoral. States also debated on the amount of power that should be given to the executive branch, the length of presidential terms, and how the president would be elected.
<h3>
Answer: A. competition among producers</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
Competition reduces prices while also increasing the quality of the product or service. Companies that don't do such things will likely be out of business since the customer can go elsewhere for a better experience. The more competition, the better consumers are off.
In contrast, monopolies are bad for consumers because one company can set the price to whatever they want (to a certain level of course) and the customer has no choice to pay that price. The customer does not have any other option so the company is in full control. This leads to decline in quality because quality is often associated with cost. Safety standards may decline as well. So this is why monopolies are not good for the customer. In cases where there are monopolies, such as with power utilities, it is strongly advised that government regulations are put in place. This way the company doesn't completely exploit the customer.
In short, we can eliminate choice D because it runs counter to choice A.
Choice C can also be eliminated because if you had a decrease in supply, then the price of the product is likely to go up if you hold other factors in check (such as keeping the same level of demand). Higher prices do not benefit consumers unless those consumers had an equal or better wage increase.
A raise in interest rates means that it becomes more expensive to borrow money. For example, a raise in interest rates means that mortgage rates go higher. This negative is slightly counterbalanced with the fact that savings accounts interest rates go up as well. Overall, I think a rise in interest rates means that consumers ultimately pay more, so we can cross choice B off the list as well.
Answer:
C. It conveys southerners’ hatred of abolitionists, demonstrating that ending slavery was a threat to the southerners’ way of life.
Explanation:
The text you are referring to is an article with several criticisms of abolitionism and those who defended it. The article stated how abolitionists were being irrational and petty about the way of life and the slave system present in southern states. The text expresses how, by an act of envy, the abolitionists wished to exterminate the southern way of life, reducing their supremacy and control and ending the good customs of the Confederate citizens. In summary, the text directly expressed the southerners 'hatred of abolitionists, demonstrating that ending slavery was a threat to the southerners' way of life.
Answer:
The process is called naturalization.
Explanation:
The main way in which mercantilism increased the likelihood of conflicts between European powers was that it led to a dispute over who could trade where, and disputes over the trade agreements themselves, since every country wanted "the best deal".
