Answer: The debate over how the population of states would be counted for representation in states that permitted slavery.

Details:

At the Constitutional Convention in 1787, the Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery. For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures. (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.) The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.

hjlf

Answer and Explanation:

An ideal core that spread throughout America during the formation period was the desire for liberation from the British empire. This ideal was strongly influenced by The Sugar Act, which reduced the tariff paid by the British to the Americans for sugar production at absurd prices. This left the colonists very discouraged with the British government and made them realize that Britain was not in line with America's well-being and prosperity, preferring to exploit it and consume its production at very low prices. As a result, the Americans began to desire independence.
