Which of the following statements is / are true about the accommodations made to slave states in the Original Constitution? (SEL

ECT ALL THAT APPLY)
Although most people believe the Founders adopted the Electoral College instead of direct popular election of Presidents because they sought to protect slavery, the real reason they did it was because they thought the people could not be trusted to responsibly elect the President through direct elections.

The Three Fifths Clause protected slave states by giving them more representatives in the House of Representatives than they would get if slaves were not counted at all for purposes of apportioning seats in the House.

James Madison and other Founders at the Constitutional Convention thought it best to leave the word slavery out of the Constitution because they did not believe the Constitution actually did anything to protect the institution of slavery.

No delegate at the Constitutional Convention was morally opposed to slavery.
The Original Constitution had nothing to say about either the Atlantic Slave Trade or fugitive slaves.

According to the question, the statement that is true about the accommodations made to slave states in the original constitution is the “Three Fifths Clause” which protected slave states by giving them more representatives in the House of representative than they would get if slaves were not counted at all mainly for the purposes of apportioning seats in the House (option 2 in the answer choices)

The constitution first indication of slavery appears in article 1, section 2. It is the three fifths clause that explains the apportionment of representation and taxation. This states that  

"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other Persons"

This clause explains further that for the purpose of representation and taxation, the numbers of person in each state is to be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons three fifths “of all other person” the phrase in the context free persons further explained that in addition to free citizens, all persons who are bound to serve for term of years including indentured servant are also included in the total number for representation.  However Indians are not taxed and they are excluded from the population to be represented.

(Brainlist for correct answer) How did William the Conqueror’s Norman background affect his rule as king of England? A.He brough
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

was the first Norman King of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. He was a descendant of Rollo and was Duke of Normandy from 1035 onward. His hold was secure on Normandy by 1060, following a long struggle to establish his throne, and he launched the Norman conquest of England six years later. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands, and by difficulties with his eldest son, Robert Curthose.

William was the son of the unmarried Robert I, Duke of Normandy, by his mistress Herleva. His illegitimate status and his youth caused some difficulties for him after he succeeded his father, as did the anarchy which plagued the first years of his rule. During his childhood and adolescence, members of the Norman aristocracy battled each other, both for control of the child duke, and for their own ends. In 1047, William was able to quash a rebellion and begin to establish his authority over the duchy, a process that was not complete until about 1060. His marriage in the 1050s to Matilda of Flanders provided him with a powerful ally in the neighbouring county of Flanders. By the time of his marriage, William was able to arrange the appointment of his supporters as bishops and abbots in the Norman church. His consolidation of power allowed him to expand his horizons, and he secured control of the neighbouring county of Maine by 1062.
