Social Studies

The correct answer is D because originally, no slaves were counted in the entire population of slave owning states. This angered states (ones like Virginia) because slaves made up a great number of the population, though they were not counted.

Answer:

<u>d. increased the power of slave states by counting 3/5 of the slaves instead of none of them.</u>

Explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement made between delegates during the Constitutional Convention (1787) that established that the number of seats of the House of Representatives for each state should be calculated in accordance to the number of free persons, (excluding Indians not taxed) and the three-fifths of slaves, instead of none of them since slaves were regarded as a property or a thing and not as people.

The Compromise, then, would increase the representation and political power of Southern states which were the ones with more slave population. In the first US Congress of 1790, for example, the Southern states accounted for 47 seats in the House of Representatives.

Keisha had a memorable night at a close friend's wedding. Between the beautiful scenery, the touching vows, and the dancing, thi
Vikki [24]

Answer:    Storage and retrieval

Explanation:  In Keisha's case, as mentioned, she will remember for many years her friend's wedding night, so it's long-term memory, and that memory is arranged and stored as encoded in different parts of the brain, not in all parts, but not only one part of the brain. This means that a long-term stored memory encoded in this way can always be found and "recalled". There is another important fact in the question, that this is a really beautiful night of her friend's wedding. It should be said that all information is initially stored in short-term memory, and that important information is transferred over time to long-term memory. Since this is really important information / experience when it comes to Keisha, then surely all the information, that is, the experiences of the wedding will go into her long-term memory and she will remember the wedding for many years.

Latent learning is the<em> retention of information</em> without much help or motivation. This is an unconscious process; one tends to "just know" the information.

In this case, the person regularly goes to the store and he has seen where the eggs are, <em>unconsciously retaining</em> this information and thus knows where they are when he goes to buy it for his guests. This is an example of latent learning.
