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.

How did nationalism, imperialism, and militarism help set the stage for World War 1
Finger [1]
Nationalism heightened in the 19th century and heading into the 20th century. The nationalistic fervor by people in Europe had them each viewing their own nations as better than the others, in competition with the others.  This would lead to an increase in tension between the nations.

Imperialism expanded on that nationalistic rivalry by carrying their competition to other parts of the globe.  The nations of Europe sought to grab control for themselves over parts of Asia and Africa.  When war erupted, that also meant it would become a world war because the European nations would include people from their imperial territories in the war.

Militarism grew ever more potent as the 20th century opened.  The competition between nations included a massive arms race in terms of expanding armies and navies.  The nations also sided up in competing military alliances and made military battle plans as to how they might fight a war if war came.  When a cause for war broke out, all those preparations propelled the nations of Europe into war recklessly.

Why did Athens and Sparta go to war
JulijaS [17]
Hello princess. So to know why the Athens and Sparta went to war, you need to dive deeper into their history. As you can tell, the Athens had a more open city, to the imagination and new ideas, while Sparta thought that they should shield themselves from anything and everything but their little towns that were inside the walls. Slave revolt caused Sparta to change how they acted because of how bad it was and how many lives were lost. The Athens and Sparta eventually had a war is 431-404 B.C.E. that caused famine, death, plague, and misfortune. Now the reason Athens and Sparta had a war was that of a rivalry on how a town or city should be run and as each of the two cities was growing stronger and stronger by day. Sparta emerged victorious of this war and has a great story to tell in the history books. Hope this helped, if you have any questions, please ask!
