Answer:

Virginian lawmakers decided that slave status should be defined by their mothers because many slave children were born of Englishmen and thus the decision of acknowledging a black to be slave or free was dependent on his/her mother's condition.

And, the other laws passed by Virginian lawmakers was that the state of slavery of black children is not altered by participating in Christian sacrament of baptism, as it does not change their condition of slavery.

Explanation:

During 1660s, the Virginian lawmakers passed certain laws concerning slaves and blacks in the state. These laws were made basically to slander them.

In December 1662, the law passed concerning whether a child should be considered slave or free if the father is a free Englishmen.<u> On this matter, the law was passed stating that a child's status of being slave or free would be dependent upon the condition of mother's status.</u> The status of being free was overruled in case of birth from free Englishmen. The act also stated that if any Christian come upon any Negro man or woman shall be deemed to double fine.

In September 1667, another law was passed concerning condition of slavery if a child was made to participate in Christian sacrament of baptism. <u>The law stated that a child's status od being free or slave does not change even if he participated in baptism</u>. It stated that their condition remains the same regardless of generous owners who made their children, born of slavewoman, participate in baptism.

These laws suggests that they were passed solely to keep the slaves in their slavery condition and does not give them any right to attain freedom.

Pleasure-seeking was the belief of (Roman)
vampirchik [111]

The answer you're looking for could be a HEDONIST or an EPICUREAN.

"Hedonism" is the general philosophical term for someone seeking pleasure -- though how pleasure was defined differed between different persons.

Epicureans were a particular group in Greco-Roman history that had "pleasure-seeking" as a core belief.

Let's clarify what "pleasure seeking" meant in the original theory of the the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus.  Epicurus (341-270 BC) believed that the universe and all life within it is essentially a random interaction of atomic particles.  So according to Epicurus, human life is what we have while we're living in this form, but there is no afterlife of individual souls.  So he advocated that the best way to live life, while we are alive, was to seek pleasure and avoid pain.  But his definition of "pleasure" was not some wild party, but the most comfortable and fulfilling sort of mental and physical existence.  So he urged living a life of moderation in order to avoid as much pain as possible.  Pursuing highly emotional relationships or stressful responsibilities in society would cause too much mental pain, he thought, so he refrained from such things.  Similarly, eating too much of rich foods can make you sick, or drinking too much leaves you with a hangover -- so the pain isn't worth the initial pleasure you might feel.  Epicurus and his followers lived very simple lives in order to be free of as much mental and physical pain as possible.  

Some have characterized the "Epicurean" way of life as one that says, "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die!"  But Epicurus himself would not have pursued a lifestyle that sought excessive pleasure through eating, drinking and partying, because too much pain would come along with it..
