Answer:

OA. They wanted all slaves to count toward a state's population.

Explanation:

The issue of slaves being counted as part of the general population was one factor that will help the southern states gain more seats and increase their political influence. But at the same time, including them in the count would mean paying higher taxes.

But as long as their political hold and representation would be more, the Southern states were ready to make that sacrifice. But considering the number of slaves to be included if counted, the Northern states have the lower hand. So, a compromise was drawn, which suggests that three-fifths of the slave population would be counted in all states, be it the South or the North. This compromise was made during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention, to clear out the issue of direct taxation and also representation in the House.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

How did members of President Reagan’s staff violate the Boland Amendment
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

They ignored it

Explanation:

The Boland Amendment aimed to prohibit the federal government from providing support to the Contras in Nicaragua. Instead of directly getting involved like that, they decided to ask someone else to support it, and that was Iran. Iran was the subject of an arms embargo which meant that the Contras were able to buy arms (guns) from Iran to overthrow the Nicaraguan government, and this ended up being a political scandal in Reagan's administration.

How did the Holocaust lead to the creation of Israel?
brilliants [131]
During the Holocaust, millions of Jews were put in concentration camps. This resulted in millions of deaths. After Nazi Germany was defeated by the Allied forces in 1945, the Jews who lived through the atrocities wanted a safe place to live. The British Mandate of Palestine was a strip of land in the middle east that Jewish people considered their "homeland." The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine declared that the British Mandate of Palestine would would be split into two new countries: Israel and Palestine. The Partition Plan passed through the United Nations. Israel declared independence soon after.

What was the impact on business owners under Laizze faire?
Vladimir79 [104]

"A laissez-faire economy gives businesses more space and autonomy from government rules and regulations that would make business activities harder and more difficult to proceed. Such an environment makes it more viable for companies to take risks and invest in the economy."
