The correct answer is B). They tried to have slaves counted in their population to gain more votes in Congress.

<em>The Southern states tried to gain more power during The Constitutional Convention when they tried to have slaves counted in their population to gain more votes in Congress. </em>

They were looking to get a leeway in representation. The solution they found was the Three-Fifths Compromise. The Three-Fifths Compromise was presented at the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia in 1787.

A problematic discussion was about the apportionment, which is a term to name the method of allotting the seats to be occupied in the House of Representatives based in the number of people. The solution came from the Delegates Roger Sherman and James Wilson who suggested the Three-Fifths Compromise. This proposed the count of “every five slaves as three individuals in terms of the apportionment of representation and taxes.”

What program from the new deal failed and why?

Montano1993 [528]

Major federal programs and agencies included the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Civil Works Administration (CWA), the Farm Security Administration (FSA), the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 (NIRA) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). The New Deal was responsible for some powerful and important accomplishments. It put people back to work. It saved capitalism. It restored faith in the American economic system, while at the same time it revived a sense of hope in the American people. The most important programs included Social Security, the National Labor Relations Act ("Wagner Act"), the Banking Act of 1935, rural electrification, and breaking up utility holding companies. The Undistributed profits tax was only short-Roosevelt's "New Deal" aimed at promoting economic recovery and putting Americans back to work through Federal activism. New Federal agencies attempted to control agricultural production, stabilize wages and prices, and create a vast public works program for the unemployed.
