The U.S. Constitution on <em>Article I, Section 2</em>, addresses the House of Representatives and how it should be composed.
Some statements might have contributed for the content on the referred section of the Constitution. For example:
"<em>(...)That to secure these rights, </em><em>Governments</em><em> are instituted among Men, </em><em>deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed</em><em>, (...)</em>"
"(...)<em>We, therefore, the </em><em>Representatives</em><em> of the united States of America, in </em><em>General Congress</em><em>, </em><em>Assembled</em><em>, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, (...)"</em>
The correct answer should probably be The Mayan civilization was not built around a major river.
Most Mayan cities were found by archeologists deep inside of jungles, hidden from the world, away from rivers, whereas Mesopotamia was built on Tigris and Euphrates.
<span>The Austro-Hungarian empire was endangered by feelings of nationalism because there were multiple national groups within the empire. So fulfilling nationalist goals would mean a dividing of the empire. The mere fact that the question refers to the empire as "Austro-Hungarian" is already a strong hint of the issue. Prior to 1867, it had been known as simply the Austrian Empire, but a compromise in 1867 meant that a dual monarchy was recognized (an Austrian ruler and a Hungarian ruler). The Hungarians were given self-governing authority over their own internal affairs in their portion of the empire. Other people groups within the empire would seek their own recognition as well -- Czechs, Serbs, Croats, etc. So where nationalism was a uniting factor in regions like the Italian peninsula and the German territories north of Austria, for the Austrian empire, nationalism was a dividing force.</span>
Answer:
Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Explanation:
The Three-Fifths Compromise of the US Constitutional Convention is an agreement between the Northern and Southern states of America regarding the manner of population count that needs to be done for the basis of taxation and determining representation in the House of Representatives. This agreement is famous for its decision to count only three-fifths of the slave population for the population count.
This agreement not only wrongly number the slave population thereby leading to lesser representation in the House, but it also prevents landowners from paying the full tax on their property as only three-fifths of their slaves were accounted for.
This <u>Compromise was later rendered moot or useless by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution in its Section 2</u>. As Section 2 of the Amendment states <em>"Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed."
