Answer:

The answer to the question: How did "taxation without representation" conflict with John Locke´s social contract idea of government, would be, that this principle implemented by the British against their colonies, that of "taxation without representation" as the Stamp Act was termed, violated one of John Locke´s Social Contract principles: a government depends on the will of the governed, in order to rule, and taxation should not come unless the governed have proper representation in government.

In the case of the Stamp Act, which was implemented by the British against the 13 American colonies, in retaliation for what had happened at Boston, the principles stated in the Social Contract, especially the one on people´s acceptance of government and taxation with representation, were completely ignored and it was part of the fuel that ignited the fever for independence.

What was the subject of the great compromise? what did the delegates at the constitutional convention decide about slavery?
Dimas [21]
The subject of the great compromise was how the congress would deal with legislation. It was a debate whether the states should be equally represented, or should they be represented based on the size of the state, that is, on the size of the population. The decision was to have a compromise and have a bicameral government where both systems would be implemented in the best interest of all states with the senate having equal representation, and the house having population representation.

They decided that for now slavery would be legitimate and legal, but in the future the Congress would decide the future of slavery in the country. The 3/5ths compromise was important in this because of how slaves would account for during census when it comes to representation. In the future however we know what the congress did and how slavery was first forbidden in the North, and then later in the south as well.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Hi. You have not shown the document the question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

The only way to answer this question is to read the document. As this document is not available, this reading must be done by you. During this reading, you will need to identify the type of language used to emphasize moral thoughts about the freedom of slaves.

Moral thoughts on this subject generally reported that slaves were human beings just like any white citizen and therefore it was not right to enslave them. In addition, documents usually use formal and cultured language, with flowery words, as they intend to establish seriousness in the subject presented, showing that it is important that this subject is formally considered.
