kozerog [31]3 years ago

A historian would first look at the reliability of a source - when it was published and what was happening at the time (context), who wrote it and their qualifications, any bias the author may hold, whether author sources corroborate the source, whether the author has used references, whether the source provides evidence, who the source is representative of and whether the source provides a balanced perspective

Why did Virginia lawmakers decide that slave status should pass through the mother’s (rather than fathers) line and would be una
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Virginian lawmakers decided that slave status should be defined by their mothers because many slave children were born of Englishmen and thus the decision of acknowledging a black to be slave or free was dependent on his/her mother's condition.

And, the other laws passed by Virginian lawmakers was that the state of slavery of black children is not altered by participating in Christian sacrament of baptism, as it does not change their condition of slavery.

Explanation:

During 1660s, the Virginian lawmakers passed certain laws concerning slaves and blacks in the state. These laws were made basically to slander them.

In December 1662, the law passed concerning whether a child should be considered slave or free if the father is a free Englishmen.<u> On this matter, the law was passed stating that a child's status of being slave or free would be dependent upon the condition of mother's status.</u> The status of being free was overruled in case of birth from free Englishmen. The act also stated that if any Christian come upon any Negro man or woman shall be deemed to double fine.

In September 1667, another law was passed concerning condition of slavery if a child was made to participate in Christian sacrament of baptism. <u>The law stated that a child's status od being free or slave does not change even if he participated in baptism</u>. It stated that their condition remains the same regardless of generous owners who made their children, born of slavewoman, participate in baptism.

These laws suggests that they were passed solely to keep the slaves in their slavery condition and does not give them any right to attain freedom.

How does the organization of the Senate allow a small minority of the population to have significant power in the legislative pr
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Due to each state having an equal number of senators, states with a small population have the same power in the Senate as states with a larger population

Explanation:

Because each state has 2 senators, states like Wyoming(which has under 600,000 people) have the same power as California(with well over 35 million people). This is actually on purpose, as the writers of the constitution wanted to avoid a situation where Virginia(by far the most populous state at the time of the writing of the constitution) controlled politics in the entire country, especially since the states were much less united in their infancy.

Many people criticize this aspect of the Senate, as it allows a minority of the population to make laws for the majority, but it is still an open question that is actively debated today. The question itself is worded in a way that seems to portray this topic in a negative light, but it's best to maintain an objective tone when answering unless the question asks you to defend a position or your opinion on a topic. I hope this has helped.
