Answer:  C) US Supreme Court

Explanation:  Generally speaking, a state supreme court is the court of last resort in any state, and the US Supreme Court is the court of last resort for federal cases.  <em>US Legal </em>offers this definition of "court of last resort" -

  • <em>A court of last resort is the highest judicial body within a jurisdiction's court system. It is a court with the highest appellate authority, meaning that its rulings are not subject to further review by another court. A court of last resort is often, but not always, referred to as a supreme court.</em>

It is possible to appeal a state supreme court decision to the US Supreme Court if there is a question of law under the US Constitution.  A "question of law" means there is a question regarding interpretation of a law.  It is different from a "question of fact," which pertains to the facts of a case.  So in your example, Yethreb's appeal would need to cite some matter of interpretation of law under the Constitution in order to appeal his case from the Ohio Supreme Court to the US Supreme Court.

What was a major obstacle to drafting a new constitution at the Constitutional Convention of 1787?
arsen [322]

Answer: A. a disagreement between the states over representation in Congress.

The main disagreement was over whether representation would be the same for all states, or based on a state's population size.  Then there was also a question, for basing representation on population size, about whether slaves counted in a state's population or not.

The Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise were worked out during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787 in order to resolve these issues.

  • The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  Initially, a unicameral (one-chamber) legislature was envisioned.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
  • The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery.  For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures.  (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.)   The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.
