What was one way the consuls were prevented from having too much power?

History
1 answer:
liraira [26]3 years ago
8 0

The position of the consul was a temporary one so they could not hold power for long.

Explanation:

The position enjoyed by the consul of the Roman Republic was only there for a couple of years after someone else was elected as Consul and the one who had been a consul before can never be re elected from then on.

Thus, the position could only be held once in the life of one politician and they were also only able to hold it for a short amount of time.

This made it harder to garner power.

The amount of time it would take to spread influence and gain more power was not given to the consuls and another was appointed.

During the Constitutional Convention, the Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise gave Congress the power to choose its own members
Ronch [10]

Answer:

This Compromise regulated commerce in the North and South but not the slave trade. That was put off for another 20 years.

Explanation:

The Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise was one of the agreements reached in the Constitutional Convention of 1787. There were two issues at stake here. First, Southern states did not want the new federal government to have the power to regulate commerce. They were afraid that this would give the government the power to effectively end slavery in the United States. The second issue was the slave trade itself. Northern states wanted to abolish the international slave trade, while southern states did not.

These were contentious issues. Most northern states had already begun abolishing slavery at the state level, as they moved towards more industrial economies. The southern states, which were the richest in the country at the time, relied heavily on slave labor. It was so important to them that Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina threatened to leave the convention.

So, a compromise was struck. To appease the Southern states, it was agreed that the federal government would not have the authority to tax the export of goods from any state, and that it would not attempt to ban the international slave trade for 20 years (although it could tax imported slaves like any other product). In exchange, the slave-holding delegates of the South agreed to remain in the convention. The Constitution was finalized, but the divisive issue of slavery was built into the fabric of the country, unresolved.
