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.

How was the impact of the mexican cession in 1848 similar to the impact of the louisiana purchase in 1803?
just olya [345]

he Mexican Cession is the region in the modern-day southwestern United States that Mexico ceded to the U.S. in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. This region had not been part of the areas east of the Rio Grande which had been claimed by the Republic of Texas, though the Texas annexation resolution two years earlier had not specified the southern and western boundary of the new State of Texas. The Mexican Cession (529,000 sq. miles) was the third largest acquisition of territory in US history. The largest was the Louisiana Purchase, with some 827,000 sq. miles, followed by the acquisition of Alaska (about 586,000 sq. miles).
