A slave trader would try to make the biggest profit from selling enslaved Africans by striking up business relationships with local African Chiefs, and by crowding as many Africans on boats as possible during the Middle Passage from Africa to the New World.
Establishing a business relationships with local chiefs enabled the traders to continuously purchase new slaves, rather than trying to steal local Africans, which would lead to conflict and a lack of certainty that they would be able to continue acquiring slaves in this way.
The conditions on the slave ships were unimaginably horrible and designed to efficiently transport as many slaves per trip as possible. Slaves were lined up in the hull of the ship, either standing or all laying down, in order to conserve space and pack as many in as possible.

LuckyWell [14K]

The correct answer is A) protect the rights of citizens.

The 6th amendment guarantees American citizens the right to a fair and speedy public trial. Along with this, the 6th amendment protects the citizens right by having a "fair and impartial" jury present to hear their case.

The 8th amendment protects citizens accused of a crime from having an excessive bail. The amount of money needed to bail the person out of jail must fit the crime they are accused of.
