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 made it difficult for early US leaders to maintain neutrality during conflicts between France and Great Britain
satela [25.4K]

In 1793,France,under the leadership of Napoleon,declared war on Spain,Britain and Holland.The United States lacked the resources and desire to enter the Napoleonic Wars,and even Jefferson agreed with Hamilton and Washington that USA should remain neutral.

US neutrality was compromised when Citizen Zenet,the French ambassador to the United States,began to recruit Americans to fight for the French.Additionally,Genet tried to use American ports to launch French naval attacks on the British and use American soil to train French troops.

Hamilton argued that the US did not need to honour the 1778 treaty because it had been an agreement with the king of France ,not with the new French Republic established during the French Revolution.hamilton also encouraged Washington to deny Genet's request that the United States repay its debts to France in advance.
