<em>B. More representation in Congress for southern states.</em>

Explanation:

Counting the population was surprisingly a huge issue during this time. If you had a bigger population, you would get more representation in the House of Representatives. This meant that many states wanted to have as many people as possible, especially the Southern states. The Southern states feared that if they did not have enough representation in Congress, slavery would be threatened with abolition.

The Three-Fifths Compromise made it so slaves were technically counted towards population, but not as a whole. The Northern states did not want the Southern states to be able to count their slaves as part of the population, as they were being treated as people and they wanted more representation than the South would get.

With the Three-Fifths Compromise, three out of five slaves would be counted towards the population. This was a compromise between the South who wanted to count every slave as a whole person and the North who wanted to only count free people towards the population. In the long run, this was good for the South because it gave them more representation in Congress.

What is the federalist papers supported the passage of the u.S. Constitution ?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Federalist Papers to help people to understand the US Constitution.

Explanation:

There are 85 essays in Federalist Papers which were printed in New York newspapers while New York State was deciding whether or not to support the U.S. Constitution. These are a series of eighty-five letters written to newspapers in 1787-1788 by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, urging ratification of the Constitution Other newspapers outside New York also published the essays as other states were deciding to ratify the Constitution. In 1788, the papers were published together in a book called The Federalist.  As of today, the people still read the Federalist Papers to help them understand the Constitution.

Hamilton, who wrote about two-thirds of the essays has addressed the objections of opponents, who feared a tyrannical central government that would supersede states’ rights and encroach on individual liberties. All strong nationalists, the essayists argued that, most important, the proposed system would preserve the Union, now in danger of breaking apart, and empower the federal government to act firmly and coherently in the national interest. Conflicting economic and political interests would be reconciled through a representative Congress, whose legislation would be subject to presidential veto and judicial review.
