Three out of five Black slaves would get a vote in Government. The Three-Fifths clause was the compromise position on the demand of large slave states, such as Virginia, that seats in Congress be apportioned according to the total population of the states.

I can't see the options, however, the Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise during the 1787 Constitutional Convention in which three fifths of the slave population would be counted when regarding the population of a state in order to determine representation and taxation for the respective state.

This was deemed necessary as the Southern states had a much larger slave population and for all of their slave population to be counted was seen as unfair by the Northern states, which, naturally had a much smaller slave population.

Explain how James Madison and Thomas Jefferson illustrated the continued American spirit of rebellion after independence and the

satela [25.4K]

Jefferson and Madison would create the Democratic-Republican political party to be a voice for the common man against the elite Federalist party. The two men fought laws and policies enacted by Washington and Adams when they believed they violated the Constitution and the rights established by the Bill of Rights.

One example of this was Jefferson's writing of the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions in regard to the Whiskey Tax. Though written anonymously, he suggest the states (the people) were allowed to nullify, or ignore, federal laws that the people did not agree with. He suggest it was in the rights of the people to refuse to pay the whiskey tax.

Jefferson and Madison were both outspoken about their disagreement with the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts by John Adams. Jefferson would overturn the acts after becoming the third president of the US. Madison also stood against John Adams in regard to the "midnight-appointments" which was an expansion of the federal court system. Madison refused to issue the confirmations of the judges causing one to take Madison to court in the famous case, Marbury v. Madison.
