Answer:

The north had more people than the south during this time, so the south saw it as unfair because the north would receive more representatives in the house of representatives than the south, resulting in more votes for the north. So the 3/5 compromise was made to count 3/5 of the slaves so the south could receive more representatives in the house of representatives.

The Massachusetts Government Act which also took effect on May 20, 1774, restricted town meetings to one a year unless the governor approved any more. The Massachusetts assembly could not meet. The governor would appoint all the officials, juries and sheriffs.

Why was Romulus Augustulus not a competent ruler?

koban [17]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Augustulus was a teenager when he became a ruler in AD 475. He only lasted 10 months because he was 'disposed of' in AD 476. When Augustulus took power the empire was already pretty much ruined by previous rulers. His subjects did not respect him because he was way to young to take over an entire population of people. At the end of the day his father oversaw his politics advising him along the way.

Here is more information on Romulus Augustulus. Good luck.
