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.

What impact does propaganda have on people?
Andrew [12]

Answer: propaganda is based on supposition of malleability of human nature. In late 19th century there were many theories (psychology of masses, i.e.Gustav Le Bon or Italian sociology of elites, i.e. Vilfredo Pareto, Mosca etc etc.) which propounded idea of malleabilty of human nature and human psyche. The same  can be said about psychoanalysis. The result of that was use of propaganda in 1930s and 1940s (press, radio), establishmemt of ministries of propaganda etc etc. The impact was only short-lived because the intention was to monopolize public space, immunize some social theories and produce closed society.

Explanation: propaganda contradicts idea of democracy. Democracy requires plurality of thoughts, ideas, patterns, behaviour, attitudes, free circulation of all that. Democracy requires open society.
