Answer:

D) They wanted their full population of slaves to be counted for purposed of Congressional representation.

Explanation:

When the organization of the Senate and the House of Representatives was being established in the laws of the country, it was important to decide how many representatives and senators were going to work in Congress.

Representatives are elected based in population, as more populated states have more representatives. However, the Founding Fathers could not agree on whether slaves were to be counted for this population.

The Three-Fifths Compromise established that three slaves out of every five were to be counted. However, some southern delegates might have opposed this compromise, as they wanted their full population of slaves to be counted for the purpose of Congressional representation.

the pencil sharpener on kay desk has a diameter of 3.4 cm and is 7 cm tall. Calulate the surface area
erica [24]

Answer:

92.9 cm squared

Explanation:

The surface area of a cylinder is denoted by: A=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Here, we know the diameter is 3.4 cm, so the radius, which is half the diameter, is r = 3.4 / 2 = 1.7 cm. The height is 7. Plug these in:

A=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh

A=2\pi *1.7^2+2\pi *1.7*7=29.58\pi

29.58π ≈ 92.9 cm squared

write a paragraph that reports om indulgences by telling what they were, what people did to get them, who might buy or sell them
Black_prince [1.1K]

One of the main reasons why the Reformation came about was the practice of the Indulgence by the Catholic Church.  It was a way where one can lessen the amount of punishment through a fee or an activity. This has caused a controversy during the time because it made people believe that salvation and forgiveness could be bought.  Martin Luther was very much opposed to the practice of selling Indulgences and his critic of the practice eventually led to his break from Rome and founded the Lutheran Church.  The Counter-Reformation made some changes to curb the excesses of Indulgences but nonetheless this practice help end religious unity in Western Europe.

__________ was a catholic king of england who was replaced by william and mary.
Neko [114]
James II

James II was the second king on the throne of England after the English Civil War had resulted in the execution of King Charles I and the establishment of the English Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell.  After Cromwell's era, the monarchy was restored when Charles II was brought back to the throne that had been held by his father (Charles I).  After the death of Charles II, a second surviving son, James, who had been ruling as James VI in Scotland, became King James II in England.  But he tried to take too much power to himself away from Parliament, and his support for Catholicism was not popular.  The so-called "Glorious Revolution" of 1688 removed James II from power and brought in William and Mary as king and queen.  Mary was a daughter of James II, but was Protestant, like her husband, William of Orange (in the Dutch Republic).

How did the founding fathers and constitution address the issue of slavery in america?
pishuonlain [190]
"Although many of the Founding Fathers acknowledged that slavery violated the core American Revolutionary ideal of liberty, their simultaneous commitment to private property rights, principles of limited government, and intersectional harmony prevented them from making a bold move against slavery. In his initial draft of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson condemned the injustice of the slave trade and, by implication, slavery, but he also blamed the presence of enslaved Africans in North America on avaricious British colonial policies. Jefferson thus acknowledged that slavery violated the natural rights of the enslaved, while at the same time he absolved Americans of any responsibility for owning slaves themselves."
