Answer:

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise reached among state delegates during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. Delegates disputed whether and how slaves would be counted when determining a state's total population, as this population number would determine a state's number of seats in the House of Representatives and how much it would pay in taxes. The compromise counted three out of every five slaves as people, giving the Southern states a third more seats in Congress and a third more electoral votes than if slaves had been ignored, but fewer than if slaves and free people had been counted equally. The compromise was proposed by delegate James Wilson and seconded by Charles Pinckney on June 11, 1787

Answer:

Southern states had wanted representation apportioned by population; after the Virginia Plan was rejected, the Three-Fifths Compromise seemed to guarantee that the South would be strongly represented in the House of Representatives and would have disproportionate power in electing Presidents.

Please help! I really need it :(( Does anyone know anything about the Culper Spy Ring? I need to write an informative essay
schepotkina [342]
So I saw that you needed help, so I looked it up, but then I realized that I already knew a few things about the Culper Spy Ring. Here's a few facts you could use:

It was formed by American Major Benjamin Tallmadge under orders from General George Washington in 1778

The name "Culper" was suggested by Washington, and it was named after Culpeper County, Virginia

The two main members of the ring were Abraham Woodhull and Robert
Townsend

Members were both men and women

Their main responsibility was to provide information about British movement. At one point they sent word to Washington the British forces were planning a surprise attack on French Lieutenant General Rochambeau, as well as reporting the British planned to use counterfeit American currency on Continental dollar paper to get the Continental Congress to retire the bills. They told Washington British Major General William Tyron's raid was a diversion, so that Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton could attack him by surprise. They also found out that a high-ranking American official named Benedict Arnold was hiding out as a British spy.

Though nothing was ever confirmed, many say the Culper Ring exposed an attempt on General Washington's life.

There was a female spy who is only known as Agent 355. Her identity remains unknown to this day.

Hope that helps!

He described the acts in general terms so that those in other, colonies, countries or, perhaps, in future generations could understand the gist of the complaints and relate to this and may use it as an example or a template if they wish to be independent.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

towering pueblos cave dwellings

Explanation:

The Anasazi are known for "towering pueblos cave dwellings."

The above statement is true because the Anasazi are initially referred to as the Ancestral Puebloans. The latter is among the ancient groups of people in the Native American society that established their ancestral home in the Colorado Plateau. They initially settled in the order day Four Corners region of the American Southwest.

Their sophisticated towering pueblos cave dwellings mainly characterize the Anasazi
