Answer: In "The Beginnings of the Maasai," the daughter of the Maasai explains the relationship between the Maasai and their sky god Enkai. She explains how a volcanic eruption sent Enkai and the cattle into the sky. In order to save the cattle, Enkai created a giant tree that allowed them to walk back to earth.

Explanation: These are all mythical features, because a volcano erupting would not send cattle into the sky, nevertheless alive. They also wouldn't be able to physically live in the sky without food for that period of time. And finally, a tree wouldn't be tall enough to reach into the sky for them to walk down. Hope this helps ^-^.

What was the subject of the great compromise? what did the delegates at the constitutional convention decide about slavery?

Dimas [21]

The subject of the great compromise was how the congress would deal with legislation. It was a debate whether the states should be equally represented, or should they be represented based on the size of the state, that is, on the size of the population. The decision was to have a compromise and have a bicameral government where both systems would be implemented in the best interest of all states with the senate having equal representation, and the house having population representation.

They decided that for now slavery would be legitimate and legal, but in the future the Congress would decide the future of slavery in the country. The 3/5ths compromise was important in this because of how slaves would account for during census when it comes to representation. In the future however we know what the congress did and how slavery was first forbidden in the North, and then later in the south as well.
