What was the attitude of the American government toward slavery

History
1 answer:
Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Thomas Jefferson wrote that “all men are created equal,” and yet enslaved more than six-hundred people over the course of his life.  Although he made some legislative attempts against slavery and at times bemoaned its existence, he also profited directly from the institution of slavery and wrote that he suspected black people to be inferior to white people in his Notes on the State of Virginia.

Throughout his entire life, Thomas Jefferson was publicly a consistent opponent of slavery. Calling it a “moral depravity”1 and a “hideous blot,”2 he believed that slavery presented the greatest threat to the survival of the new American nation.3 Jefferson also thought that slavery was contrary to the laws of nature, which decreed that everyone had a right to personal liberty.4  These views were radical in a world where unfree labor was the norm.

Explain with detail why the ratification process was much closer than <br> it appear
skelet666 [1.2K]

There was a lot of public discussion in the States over the Constitution's ratification procedure. Nine of the thirteen State legislatures needed to ratify it in order for it to go into force; unanimity was not necessary.

First, three-fourths of state conventions or state legislatures must support each amendment. Getting many states to concur on a long-lasting amendment to the Constitution is exceedingly challenging.

However, it wouldn't be until 1790 that the Constitution would eventually be accepted and ratified by all states. Roadblocks included disagreements about the delegates' authority, anti-federalist phobias, and the absence of a Bill of Rights. However, the new administration's concessions and pledges ultimately resulted in a solution.
