Correct answer:  B. Apportionment of members in the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

There are 435 members  in the House of Representatives in Congress.  That number has been set at that level since 1929.  The number of representatives per state is adjusted after each census, which is conducted every 10 years.  The US Constitution (Article 1, Section 2), says:  "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union."


Additional detail:

The number of electoral votes each state has in the Electoral College (for presidential elections) is also determined by the federal census.  Electoral College votes are aligned with the size of a state's overall Congressional representation, so the number of electoral votes each state gets (of the 538 total electoral votes) is recalculated every ten years, based on the most recent US Census data.

Slave laws in the southern colonies in the 1600s
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Slave laws in the southern colonies in the 1600s "b. defined an enslaved person as someone who could be bought and sold" This rule was set in place to fight against some owners who attempted to set their slaves free prematurely.

Explanation:

Slave laws in the southern colonies in the 1600s defined an enslaved person as someone who could be bought and sold.

Southern laws in America were so harsh on slaves. Let's have in mind that the southern economy depended so much on slaves. That is why southern people were against abolitionism. Slaves had to work long hours in the large southern plantations to produce the kind of crops needed for trade and to export to Europe. Slaves in the south lived difficult lives and were not considered to be persons, but property.
