The issue of slavery at the Constitutional Convention was actually an issue about: Representation

At that time, slaves were not considered as a normal citizen. But still the number of the slaves influence the amount of representative that the states could have to represent them in the government. This issue is being discussed in the constitutional convention. Eventually, they agree that slaves would be counted as a three/fifth of a normal citizens.

The issue of slavery at the constitutional convention was an issue about <u>representation</u>. When writing this first constitution of the United States, the northern states and the southern states disagreed about the rule of representation of slaves in the House of Representatives.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

This important debate took place in Philadelphia, May 25 to September 17, 1787. The northern did not want the southern to be allowed to count slaves in the total of their population. Because it was the number of inhabitants in a state that determined the number of deputies that a state could send to the House of Representatives. If slaves were counted as free men, the southern states which possessed more slaves than the northern states would have a big advantage. In the end, these states found a solution to this problem by accepting that slave will be counted for only three-fifths of the free man.

Explain why the Articles of Confederation proved too weak to meet the needs of the 13 new states. Describe at least two examples
Elodia [21]

The Articles of Confederation were far too weak to meet the needs of the newly created United States because of the massive decentralization the Articles contained.

They did not give the government any right to tax the people, and had to ask the states for taxes, and the states were not keen to pay them unless it benefited them. Often found were states not contributing to the pay of the Continental Army because it was not in their territory and defending them. This was also the reason Valley Forge was a disastrous winter for the Continental Army.

The Constitution fixed this by mandating budgets and making sure the states did in fact pay dues to the Gov't, later amended with (the supposed temporary) Federal income tax, starting after The Great War.

The other big failure is the lack of a requirement delegates be there, and the fact it requires every state to vote yes, an amendment to let the Confederation place import taxes to help pay the army was a washed failure because Rhode Island feared having their economy impacted horribly as they were so small they only had trade.

The New Constitution fixed this by making it so 3/4 of the states had to vote Aye to an amendment to the Constitution itself, and made the Federal Government itself handle passes legislation at it's own level with a majority rules, rather than all.

A four episode series from Extra History delve with a good amount of detail as to the Articles' other short comings, and what I elaborated on. Would strongly recommend a watch: https://youtu.be/C6rHSiN0vKk
