Answer:  C) Article VII required the Constitution to be ratified by each state sending representatives, chosen by the people of that state, to a special meeting, instead asking the existing state governments to ratify the Constitution.

Explanation: Article VII required each state to hold special ratifying conventions of representatives chosen by the people of a state, instead asking the existing state governments to ratify the Constitution. The Founders did not think the existing state legislatures would ratify the Constitution because those governments would not agree to give up the power they had under the Articles of Confederation. Therefore, the Founders required the people of each state to send representatives to special conventions to ratify the Constitution.

What was the Missouri compromise? why did cause so much controversy?
ladessa [460]

In the years leading up to the Missouri Compromise of 1820, tensions began to rise between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions within the U.S. Congress and across the country. They reached a boiling point after Missouri’s 1819 request for admission to the Union as a slave state, which threatened to upset the delicate balance between slave states and free states. To keep the peace, Congress orchestrated a two-part compromise, granting Missouri’s request but also admitting Maine as a free state. It also passed an amendment that drew an imaginary line across the former Louisiana Territory, establishing a boundary between free and slave regions that remained the law of the land until it was negated by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.

Why did Tubman decide to help the Union Army?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Tubman decided to help the Union Army because she wanted freedom for all of the people who were forced into slavery, not just the few she could help by herself. And she convinced many other brave African Americans to join her as spies, even at the risk of being hanged if they were caught.
