The Portuguese and Spanish decide to begin, The Age of Discovery as they hoped they could find their own route to the Indies and break the Venetian stranglehold.

Age of Discovery was for ignorance of the large size of the African continent, the Portuguese were obsessed with conquering Morocco in North Africa, which they saw as a stepping stone to control the gold trade. The age of Discovery was motivated by curiosity, a desire to expand into new places, a longing to spread Christianity, and especially, the Age of Discovery hoped to tap into the lucrative Far East trade, Europeans of the 15th and 16th centuries looked outward and began to explore their world. With the help of a local Portuguese navigator, da Gama and his ships made it across the Indian Ocean, reaching Calicut, India, in May 1498. Portuguese Da Gama's success opened the first water route to India from Europe, paving the way for a new era of global trade and colonialism.

What was William Paterson’s main contribution to the Constitutional Convention?
umka21 [38]
His main contribution was the idea of the New Jersey plan which sought to solve the problem of state representation according to the size of the population. It was rejected but many parts of it were included in the Connecticut compromise which made a bicameral government with many parts from Paterson's plans.

The three-fifths compromise was an a compromise regarding the size of the population based on the number of slaves in the state. This was important when it came to determining the size of representation in the house of representatives because of how slaves would be counted. The compromise established that each slave would count as three-fifths of a full citizen.

They believed that the president would have too much power and that they could eventually become tyrannical similarly to how kings were in Europe. They feared that other parts of the executive branch would not dare disagree with the president out of fear.
