Answer:

The southern economy hugely depended on the use of slavery.

Explanation:

One important argument the South saw reasonable and justifiable to not abolish slavery was its dependence for the growth of its economy. In other words, the South's economy was maintained due to the work of the enslaved.

The South's economy was agriculturally based. They did not have factories and large businesses like the North did. They relied on farms and the growing of crops. There were many farms and plantations with too many crops to harvest for the owner, and that's when slavery came in. Not only did Slaves work on farms and plantations, they did manual labor including construction.

Because the southern economy was heavily dependent on slavery, southern slaveholders fought hard to keep slaves. This argument was probably the most reasonable reason to keep slavery made by the South, although it is just as cruel as any other reason for servitude.

To summarize: the South's economy would not survive without slavery, and southern citizens would not make as much money without them.

There were multiple reasons why the South could justify part, white people during this time still believed in the natural superiority of their race. Blacks were seen as inferior, and made so by Nature or by God's judgment. Since that's the way it was, they believed that was the way God intended it. There were also many pseudo-sciences that still existed, arguing for natural ethnological hierarchies in the human species. Because blacks were deemed inferior, it was seen as only right that they served under the <span>whites.There were also Biblical justifications for slavery. </span>

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

All of the following options are in effect to ensure the government does not have too much power.

<u>Option I:</u>
Government officials are indeed subject to the law, they're not above it nor are they allowed to break the law without facing repercussions.

<u>Option II:</u>
Government officials are held accountable for their actions which is true. Government officials are at risk to be impeached, which is to be removed from their position if they break any laws.

<u>Option III:</u>
Limitations are placed on how long government officials can serve, which is indeed true. Government officials aren't allowed to serve for long periods of time, they're usually allowed to serve for a few years then a new government official is voted into office.

<u>Option IV:</u>
The government is divided into branches which is again true. This is called separations of powers which was put into place to ensure the government doesn't have all the power. So, the government was spilt into three different branches and checks and balances ensures that each branch doesn't gain more power than the other.

Which means your answer is option D "i., il., iii., and iv" or all of the above.

Hope this helps.
