Yes, they're allowed to use tricks like that to get a confession.

United States' legal system allow police officers to lie about having a witness when they're conducting an investigation in order to open an opportunity for a bargain. What they're not allowed to do is lying about the punishment that could be charged to the suspect.

The police are allowed to use the psychological trick to get someone’s confession. The police are not allowed to use physical force but are allowed to use the psychological trick in interrogation.  

 

EXPLANATION

The confessions of a suspect must be given voluntarily. The police should not use physical force to coerce a suspect into confessing. Even though police have been prohibited to use physical force as a weapon to get a confession, they are allowed to use psychological tricks to get someone’s confession. The most common psychological tricks that the police use is deception.  

 

As an example, police are allowed to tell the suspect that they found the suspect’s fingerprint and DNA evidence in the crime scene, while in reality, the police didn’t find anything. The government permits the police to use deception for factual matters. The police can use this to get the real and most truthful confession from the suspect.

 

Even if psychological tricks are allowed, but there are not applied without limits. One thing that the police are not allowed to use is telling lies about legal rights. For example, the police should not misinterpret the legal rights of a defendant by telling the suspect that their confession will not be used to charge them.

 

For example, the police shouldn’t tell a suspect that they believe the murder is accidental and they will not get arrested or threatened to arrest the suspect’s family. Even though psychological tricks are allowed, they still have to be used within rules and limitations.

What agreement at the constitutional convention concerned the way to represent enslaved persons in the house of representatives?
topjm [15]

The agreement about the way to represent enslaved people is the Three-Fifths Compromise of 1787. It was stated in the Constitutional Convention that slaves should be counted as three-fifths of a person, the clause intent to balance the power and influence that the counting of slaves in the Southern could have in elections.

The representatives were defined by the number of population and Southern had many slaves and wanted all of them to be counted as voters but they were still treated as property and were not taxed as free people, because the number of slaves was much bigger in southern than northern states, that already abolished slaving, the northern fought back for a fairly counting for the  representatives, so they came to an agreement to count three slaves out of every five slaves regarding the population of each state and for taxation matters.
