The correct answer is A) With a larger population, the slave states would be allowed more representatives in the national government, thus giving them more political power.

In the US House of Representatives, the states with larger populations have more representatives. This is important because the House of Representatives works with the Senate in order to make laws for the United States.

So, Southern states were heavily in favor of counting slaves towards the population. This would give Southern politicians more power to create national laws that would benefit their region.

Why did JFK not have a mandate for his proposal
Sloan [31]

Answer: Because a conservative coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats blocked many of Kennedy's measures

Explanation: John Fitzgerald Kennedy often referred to by his initials JFK, was an American politician who served as the 35th president of the United States from January 1961 until his assassination in November 1963. He served at the height of the Cold War, and the majority of his work as president concerned relations with the Soviet Union and Cuba.

In terms of domestic legislation however, Kennedy's record was less successful, as Congress repeatedly blocked his policy proposals. Some of the reform proposals Kennedy made that were rejected by a conservative Congress include,

medical care for the aged; rebuilding of blighted urban areas as well as federal aid for education.
