Portuguese

The Portuguese were the first European country to begin the Age of Exploration. Their early expeditions were seeking an eastern route to Asia so they no longer had to trade through the Ottoman Empire. This began by exploring and setting up posts along the African coast line. The Portuguese would become highly involved in the African slave trade as well due to their ports created on the coast of Africa.

After the Treaty of Tordesillas, where Spain and Portugal were fighting over land they were able to colonize, the world was split in half. This split occurred before anyone realized there were two more continents laying to the west of Europe. Portugal was able to get only one piece of land in the Americas and that was Brazil. Brazil remained a Portuguese colony until the early 19th century when Brazil became an independent country.

Which issue did all delegates agree with in the Constitutional Convention? how to count enslaved people for representation the n
Yuri [45]

Answer:

<h2>Hi mate PLEASE MARK ME BRAINLIEST IF MY ANSWER IS CORRECT PLEASE </h2>

Explanation:

The three-fifths compromise was an agreement reached by the state delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Under the compromise, every enslaved American would be counted as three-fifths of a person for taxation and representation purposes.

Origins of the Three-Fifths Compromise

At the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, the founders of the United States were in the process of forming a union. Delegates agreed that the representation each state received in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College would be based on population, but the issue of slavery was a sticking point between the South and the North.

It benefitted Southern states to include enslaved people in their population counts, as that calculation would give them more seats in the House of Representatives and thus more political power. Delegates from Northern states, however, objected on the grounds that enslaved people could not vote, own property, or take advantage of the privileges that White men enjoyed. (None of the lawmakers called for the end of slavery, but some of the representatives did express their discomfort with it. George MAS on of VIRG inia called for anti-slave trade laws, and Gouverneur Morris of New York called slavery “a nefarious institution.”)

Ultimately, the delegates who objected to enslavement as an institution ignored their moral QUAL-ms in favor of unifying the states, thus leading to the creation of the three-fifths compromise.
