Answer: Drowned themselves to avoid slavery

Explanation:

Olaudah Equiano was 10 years old when he was kidnapped from his people and sold into slavery. After being bounced around from slaver to slaver he eventually ended up in Virginia where he earned his freedom and went on to become a missionary.

Mr. Equiano in recounting how his journey mentioned how in crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean, the slaves on the ship were badly mistreated. In one instance, the traders did some fishing and after eating and filling themselves, they tossed the remaining fish back in the seas rather than feed their captives.

Two of Equiano's “wearied countrymen” who were chained together could no longer stand the situation and with probable knowledge of situations being worse where they were headed to, jumped overboard into the ocean because they preferred death to the slavery that awaited.

Dafna1 [17]

The US Constitution set up a system of government with three co-equal branches of government. Each branch of government is responsible for different matters, which is known as the Separation of Powers, and is held responsible to each other with a system of interlocking responsibilities and obligations, better known as checks and balances.

The end result is a system where no branch should stand above the other branches and where each branch is responsible for their own set of responsibilities.
