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.

Du Tisné’s major contributions to France was
Igoryamba

Answer: the correct answer is B. establishing new trade alliances with American Indian groups in Oklahoma

Explanation:

Claude-Charles Du Tisné was a French explorer in central North America, Claude-Charles du Tisné was born in France circa 1688. He became a soldier and in 1705 was posted to Canada. In 1719 he was ordered to take a small company of men to explore the Illinois country and then to go southwestward across the Mississippi River into the plains, in order to try to open trade with Santa Fe, in Spanish-held New Mexico. Historians don't agree in their evaluations of the exact route of his expedition in the summer of 1719. They agree that his line of travel brought the group into the plains directly west from the Mississippi River to an Osage village on the Osage River. By reading the expedition's reports and documents, Oklahoma historian Anna Lewis asserted that he led his men southwestward to the Verdigris River in present Oklahoma, to the site of an American Indian village, presumably of the Wichita, in the vicinity of present Chelsea or Vinita. Other scholars, notably archaeologists Mildred Mott Wedel and Waldo Wedel, read the records differently, arguing that the encounter with the Wichita took place near Neodesha, Kansas. The archaeological record, however, remains too sparse to allow a precise location of the site of the village or the explorer's route. Du Tisné's activities, and those of his fellow French explorer Jean Baptiste Bénard de la Harpe, also in 1719, paved the way for future exploration in the plains and encouraged competition between Spain and France for trade in the area. Leaving the plains, Du Tisné returned to the Illinois country, where he died in 1730.
