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

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.

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.”

The social gospel used what belief

muminat

Answer:

[B] religious morals

Explanation:

For a bit of a timeline reference, the period that the Social Gospel reigned was during the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. The Social Gospel was a group of people who tried to use their Christian faith to justify their ideas of what solutions to certain social problems should be. A way to remember the religious ties that the Social Gospel had to society would be the word gospel, which by definition relates to church and thus religious faith.

[A] Imperialism would be an incorrect response. Think of imperialism as typically belligerent or selfish nations who tried to get as many resources as possible from other developing countries, like how Great Britain was the mother colony farming resources from the colonies throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. For some extra context, imperialism was much more prevalent during the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries.

[C] Laissez-faire is a method of practicing capitalism that the federal government used in the US. The phrase laissez-faire is French and essentially means "let it be," which follows the conservative economic ideal of not regulating the market.
