The Constitutional Convention of 1787 enacted compromises to placate the Southern states on the slavery question. The two most important issues related to slavery were the Slave Trade and the 3/5's Compromise. Rather than restricting the slave trade, the convention agreed to make no law suppressing or regulating the Atlantic Slave Trade, which allowed it to continue for twenty additional year until 1807. The second compromise pertained to representation in the House of Representatives. The 3/5's Compromise allowed the enslaved to be counted as 3/5's to balance representation in the House of Representatives between slaveholding and non-slaveholding states.

frozen [14]

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

La manera en cambiaron las sociedades autóctonas del continente Americano previo al surgimiento de los grandes imperios que conocieron los Españoles, fue en que de una serie de grupos tribales, las sociedades fueron creciendo al establecerse en un solo lugar para aplicar las técnicas de agricultura que estas tribus fueron desarrollando. Posteriormente, tribus guerreras como los Aztecas, provenientes de Aztlán, fueron incrementando su presencia y poderío en Mesoamérica, conquistando pequeñas tribus, esclavizándolas, y haciendo que pagaran tributo. De esta manera creció la civilización Azteca, hasta convertirse en imperio. Los Aztecas, Mayas e Incas, se convirtieron en los imperios más dominantes en Mesoamérica y Sudamérica, respectivamente, y eso fue lo que encontraron los Españoles a su llegada.
