Answer:

Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise of the US Constitutional Convention is an agreement between the Northern and Southern states of America regarding the manner of population count that needs to be done for the basis of taxation and determining representation in the House of Representatives. This agreement is famous for its decision to count only three-fifths of the slave population for the population count.

This agreement not only wrongly number the slave population thereby leading to lesser representation in the House, but it also prevents landowners from paying the full tax on their property as only three-fifths of their slaves were accounted for.

This Compromise was later rendered moot or useless by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution in its Section 2. As Section 2 of the Amendment states "Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed."

How are the high holy days of rosh hashanah and yom kipper similar?

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

While Rosh Hashanah tends to be a day of celebration, Yom Kippur is a far more somber holiday. Traditionally, the Yom Kippur services begin at sundown with the “Kol Nidre” prayer, an affirmation in ancient Aramaic that “all vows” (or “kol nidre”) made to God in the coming year are null and void.

Which of the following was an effect of nativism in the United States in the 1920s?

bearhunter [10]

First question: D- people who were living in America at the time, didn't want other people to come in and "steal their jobs". To me, nativism (at the time) was a pretty stupid thing, considering how many of the people who didn't want anyone else coming into the country, were immigrants themselves.

Second question: D is the closest answer, seeing as Roosevelt wanted to improve relations with Central and South America.

Hope this helps!
