Madison in particular wanted to push the Constitution back in the direction of his Virginia plan. ... Its members, such as Madison, were delegates who had shown a greater desire for compromise and were chosen for this reason as most in the Convention wanted to finish their work and go home.

Answer: Because they feared  the construction of a strong federalist government that would tyrannize them.

Explanation:

On September 17, 1787, after 16 weeks of deliberation, the Constitution in its final wording was signed by 39 of the 42 delegates present. The Convention had decided that the Constitution would come into force when ratified by the conventions of nine of the thirteen states.  In June of 1788, the nine states required to ratification had already given its approval but the major states of Virginia and New York still had not. Differences of opinion on these issues led to the creation of two parties, the Federalists, in favor of a strong central government, and the Anti-federalists, that preferred a more liberated association of separated states.

In New York, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison defended the ratification of the Constitution in a series of essays known as The Federalist Papers. These essays, published in the New York newspapers, featured the classic defense argument today of a central federal government with the executive, legislative and judiciary kept separate and that controlled each other.

maksim [4K]

The United States faced gas shortages in those years because the OPEC disrupted oil supplies. OPEC stands for Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. In those years, American citizens had to withstand long lines in gas stations to get some gasoline.

Answer:

I believe the first one is tobacco and the second one is trade with England

Explanation:

Originally, Native Americans in the eastern United States grew Nicotiana rustica, which was the first form of tobacco introduced in England and Portugal. N. Tabacam, first introduced to the Spanish, was obtained from Mexico and South America. It has been the preferred tobacco since settlers in Jamestown, Virginia, began growing it.

Caroli Linnaei Species Plantarum, 1762 edition including page with  NicotianaBecause planters believed that tobacco had to be grown on virgin soil, tobacco gradually made its way to the eastern part of what is now North Carolina. Consumer preferences for tobacco products changed decidedly from the early 1700's.

In 1839, bright leaf tobacco was discovered by a slave named Stephen (headman on the farm of Abisha Slade, a successful planter in Caswell County). Stephen fell asleep owing to the heat from the wood fires in the tobacco barn, and when he awoke the fire was almost out. He rushed to a charcoal pit and found some charred logs on the dying embers. He threw these on the fire, which created a sudden drying heat, which resulted in the brightest yellow tobacco ever seen.

The eighteenth century became the "Age of Snuff." Tobacco from North Carolina Old advertisements for cigarettes was used for snuff and pipe smoking, because the cigarette was not widely known outside of Spain. By the 1840's cigarettes had become popular with French women. Much to the chagrin of anti-tobacco societies, cigarettes caught on in the United States as well. Dr. Russell Thatcher TraIl, an anti- tobacco campaigner, said:

Some of the ladies of this refined and fashion-forming metropolis [New York] are aping the silly ways of some pseudo-accomplished foreigners, in smoking Tobacco through a weaker and more feminine article, which has been most delicately denominated cigarette. Despite such opposition to tobacco, the twentieth century saw a rise in its use.
