Answer:

The correct answer is C. Under the Three-Fifths Compromise, slaves would be counted as three-fifths of a person when determining representation in Congress.

Explanation:

The Three-Fifth Compromise was a compromise established at the 1787 Philadelphia Convention between the North and South colonies. This compromise considered, in the counting rules of persons represented in the House of Representatives, that a slave was counted for three-fifths of a free man.

The question was important because the population count would then be used to determine how many seats each state would have in the House of Representatives.

Radda [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

Initially, the Crusades were not a religious movement on the part of Europeans against Islam, but in important ways, the Crusades were driven by religious faith.

Between 1096 and 1291, Muslims and Christian fought each other to control what they considered to be sacred sites in the Middle East. By 1096, Muslim troops had captured Constantinople and the pope had to intervened to call all western European nations to unite against Muslims and recover the sacred sites. Many Christian groups were formed to defend property and sacred sites such as the case of the Knights Templar.
