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.

Dominik [7]

Answer:

C:through the words and dialogue he speaks to Merci.

Explanation:

The reason that backs this answer is the format of the book. It is written in the first person by the main character. Therefore she can't access Roli's thoughts or mind. Also, he reacts to what Merci and their father's comments but the best way to understand his point of view is by his own words when they talk. Because that is the only moment we receive his point of view instead of assuming them through Merci's assumptions as of the storyteller.
