A southern slave owner argues that slavery is too important to the South's
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Think about slavery. The average African-American will have very low morale if he is forced to work. Low morale means their work ethic will slip, and sub-par work ethic leads to sub-par product. You'll actually be saving money if you free your slaves. Rather than paying tens of thousands of dollars to buy them and then paying for all of their expenses beyond that, you'll just have to pay them monthly or weekly wages. Abolition is both cost effective and stimulating to the economy.

Explanation:

Large concentrations of individuals were more expensive to care for, especially medically. Most slave owners were primarily concerned about the so-called "wage bubble" that would burst and leave all slave owners destitute, when in reality slave owners who freed their slaves and still had some working for them as freemen flourished.

In which part of the government, according to the constitution, is the number of representatives based on population?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. According to the Constitution, the part of the government in which the number of representatives is based on population is the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

The United States House of Representatives is the lower house of the United States Congress, while the upper house is the Senate. Each state obtains representation in the House proportional to its population, with the right to a minimum of one representative. The most populous state, California, has 53 representatives. The total number of representatives is currently set at 435 by the Reapportionment Act of 1929, although Congress retains the power to modify that number. Each representative is elected for a period of two years and may be re-elected.
