What were two main compromises of the constitutional convention and how did it effect the government?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

  • The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise)
  • The Three-Fifths Compromise

The two compromises affected the way a state's representation in Congress would be determined.

Explanation:

Both of these compromises were devised during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  

The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  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.

Does the statement accurately describe the life of a cowboy? Select Yes or No. Cowboys faced harsh and lonely conditions, but ch
Ksju [112]
The statement cowboys faced harsh and lonely conditions, but chose life for the freedom and independence accurately describes the life of a cowboy, so it would be a)yes. Since the cowboys lived in isolated conditions in the wild west with animals, a strong tradition of individualism and self-reliance existed, as well as the idea of personal honesty, which can be seen in poetry and songs at the time.

Why according to Stalin does the Soviet Union deserve to have neighbors who are loyal
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Stalin felt the Soviets Union needed the Eastern European nations as satellites to protect their own interests.   The fact that Nazi Germany had invaded Germany in World War II and millions of Soviet lives were lost provided Stalin's justification for loyal states along the Soviet border.

Historical context:

US president Franklin Roosevelt, British prime minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet premier Joseph Stalin, the leaders of the Allies in World War II, met at Yalta in February, 1945.  

Churchill in particular (along with Roosevelt) pushed strongly for Stalin to allow free elections to take place in the nations of Europe after the war. At that time Stalin agreed, but there was a strong feeling by the other leaders that he might renege on that promise. The Soviets never did allow those free elections to occur. Later, Winston Churchill wrote, ""Our hopeful assumptions were soon to be falsified." A line of countries in Eastern Europe came into line with the USSR and communism.  Churchill later would say an "iron curtain" had fallen between Western and Eastern Europe.
