The correct answer is A) Slaves should be counted among a state's population for the purpose of deciding a state's number of congressional representatives.

When developing the new constitution at the Constitutional Convention, delegates from the 13 states had to determine whether or not slaves would be considered part of the population. This is due to the fact that slaves were often considered property, not people, in the eyes of the law.

With this in mind, Southerners wanted to make sure that slaves counted as people in the census. This is due to the fact that a bigger population results in more representatives for a state in the House of Representatives. Having more representation in the House of Representatives is important because the House and Senate are responsible for making national laws.

On the other hand, Northerners did not want slaves to count. They did not want slaves to count because this would result in the South having more political power than the North.

This is why the two sides agreed to the 3/5ths Compromise. In this compromise, every 5 slaves would count as 3 people towards the population.

Which of the following week not a factor in the fall of the Aztec empire
Pie

1519 (March 4): The Spaniards land in what is now Veracruz. The natives greet him with gifts. A contingent from Tenochtitlán also arrives with gifts. Cortes showed force and demonstrated his canons, terrifying the messengers.

Cortes sinks all the ships except one small vessel, and moves to the city-state of Tlaxcala. Generally speaking they begin on friendly terms.

The Spanish went on to Cholula. It's unclear what happened, but in the end many people in the city were killed by the Spanish.

1519 (Nov 8): Cortes and army arrives at Tenochtitlán, and begin on good terms. However, Cortes takes charge and demands tribute and some Roman Catholic shrines to replace the Aztec gods.

Cortes returns to the coast to defeat a rival Spanish army. The remaining soldiers join him.

The Aztecs revolt, driving the Spanish from the city.  Cuitláhuac becomes emperor.

The Spanish go to Tlaxcala and make an alliance with them.

Most Aztec cities are conquered, and a siege of Tenochtitlán begins.

1521 (13 August): The last Aztec emperor, Cuauhtémoc, surrenders to Cortes.
