History

Answer with Explanation:

The Alien and Sedition Acts <u>was comprised of four laws that were</u><u> </u><u>passed by the United States Congress in 1798.</u> This was made in order to make the naturalization process in the country to be stricter and give the president power to deport the non-citizens, as well as imprison them. This relates to the the Alien Act. On the contrary, the Sedition Act allowed the president to put somebody imprison if he/she makes a false statement against the government.

I am against the Alien and Sedition Acts because it naturally goes against the rights of the people, which are stated in the Constitution. This will lead to citizens who are fearing the government because their right to speech and to express their opinion has been barred. This also causes racial discrimination when it comes to deporting people who come from hostile countries. People should not be judged according to where they came from.

What was a major obstacle to drafting a new constitution at the Constitutional Convention of 1787?
arsen [322]

Answer: A. a disagreement between the states over representation in Congress.

The main disagreement was over whether representation would be the same for all states, or based on a state's population size.  Then there was also a question, for basing representation on population size, about whether slaves counted in a state's population or not.

The Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise were worked out during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787 in order to resolve these issues.

  • The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  Initially, a unicameral (one-chamber) legislature was envisioned.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
  • The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery.  For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures.  (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.)   The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.
