Answer:

The correct answer is A. Politicians needed a compromise that would allow southerners the security of maintaing slavery.

Explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement based on a compromise between the 13 original states in the United States, that a slave should count for 3/5 free men in the state's population when the seats of the newly-created House of Representatives were to be distributed. The agreement was passed on the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 and enshrined in the Constitution.

North States had originally argued that only free citizens should count when allocating seats in the House of Representatives. South states, on the other hand, had argued that the slaves should also be counted, as the slave southern states would thus be over-represented in the House of Representatives. The settlement was that a slave had to count for 3/5 free man and that this three-fifths man's owner was required to pay taxes for his slave.

As slaves were still not allowed to vote, the agreement gave the slave owners a clear political advantage as they thus constituted the majority of the population of the young union.

What is "second" argument for anti-suffrage?
Reika [66]

Answer:

Well, for one, women didn't really want the right to vote (at least not all -- anti-suffragettes were not in favor). One of the major reasons that they did not want the right to vote is that it could bring them into conscription or other war-related activities (which anti-suffragettes were not particularly fond of). Domestic life also seemed more amiable for a lot of women, who were not particularly interested in the state of politics.

As for general anti-arguments, you have the fact that many people did not believe that women would be as knowledgeable on voting/politics as men (also why rich and high-class women were given the right to vote before those who were of a poorer class).

Ludmilka [50]
There was much superstition and ignorance in 17th century England. Witchcraft had been illegal since 1563 and hundreds of women were wrongly accused. The witch hunts lasted from 1645, just after the Battle of Naseby, to 1647. Of course, the belief in witchcraft was not something new to the 1640s. People accused of witchcraft were persecuted throughout the medieval and Tudor periods.
