Servants typically worked four to seven years in exchange for passage, room, board , lodging and freedom dues. While the life of an indentured servant was harsh and restrictive , it wasn’t slavery. There were laws in hat protected some of their rights.
Many political figures at the time felt representation in Congress should be based on the amount of free men each state had and their "quota of contribution". Notably, James Madison drafted the Virginia Plan with this proposition in mind. States with a large population (Virginia being the biggest at the time), would therefore have more representatives than smaller states. Naturally, large states backed up this plan, while smaller states were against it.
In the end the issues were settled on the Connecticut Compromise, which ensured the creation of a House of Representatives apportioned by population, and a Senate in which each state is equally represented.
Hope this helps!
The French and Indian War was a war between Britain and France, with the Native Americans on the French side. The war was caused in the mid-18th century, as both Britain and France wanted to extend their colonies west of the Appalachian mountains. The British won, causing the Natives & French to lose territory, and created friction between the two groups. The loss was especially hard for the Native Americans, as they lost land that belonged to their people for many generations. Hope this helped! :)
It would be the "Attorney General" who is responsible for domestic law enforcement in the President's cabinet, since this is the highest legal position in the land.
Those were the Boers. They set up their own country, eventually.
