President Roosevelt lauched his well-known "Four Freedoms Speech", in order to ask for support to get in the World War II. Dr. Hutchins, the president of the Univeristy of Chicago, in response to the speech said that "if we would change the face of the earth, we must first change our own hearts". In fact, Dr. Hutchins believed that America had a well-prepared army to go to war, but was not intellectually and morally capable to execute the moral mission behind it. In order to help humanity, human dignity should have a meaning within the country primarily. <u>At that time, America itself struggled with human exploitation, oppression and discrimination against the Oakies, the sharecroppers, the black population, and slumdwellers. These groups did not have freedom from want nor freedom from fear, they couldn't understand the meaning of democracy, justice or human rights. </u>What Dr. Hutchin meant was "How would America go to war to implement the Four Freedom principles overseas when they couldn't even implement them in their own country?"

IgorC [24]

Answer: B. only <em>three-fifths</em> of the enslaved population would be counted when calculating each state's representation in Congress.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was reached during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. The question was whether the slave population would count when determining a state total's population number, which would be used to determine the number of seats that each state would have in the House of Representatives.

The compromise that was reached was to count every three out of five slaves as a person for this purpose. It gave the Southern states a third more seats in Congress than if slaves had been ignored.
