Answer: Total war among industrialized nations meant that everyone was considered a combatant, including civilians.
Explanation:
Each side tried to starve the other into submission by sealing off foreign trade, often by sinking commercial vessels and passenger liners. Intentional destruction extended well beyond the battlefields. Occupied cities saw their cultural monuments—cathedrals, museums, historic buildings—systematically destroyed. Total war among industrialized nations meant that everyone was considered a combatant, including civilians. Each nation engaged in the war talked regularly about God, duty, sacrifice, patriotism, and honor, but the arbitrary horrors and wastefulness of World War I involved dishonorable actions and decisions that we have yet to understand but cannot forget.
The delegates compromise was the great compromise (also known as the new jersey plan) in which the house would be divided into the house of representatives where the number of representatives would be based on population and the senate where each state would be given 2 representatives. This led to the problem of slaves and such the 3/5 compromise was born where a slave counted as 3/5 of a person.
Both promoted the idea that laws should apply equally to all citizens.
