Answer:

A common element in the two key debates at the Convention regarding representation in Congress and slavery was the amount of people involved.

Explanation:

Once the delegates of the Constitutional Congress agreed on having two chambers: The House of Representatives (which would be based on the number of population), and the Senate (which would be based on equal representation for each state, regardless of the number of population), they had another isse: how slaves would be counted. The North feared that the South would gain more representatives as the number of slaves was greater there. So, they proposed the Three-Fifths Compromise, which would count three individuals out of five slaves. Also, the slave trade would continue (people from the North wanted to end slavery but they were strongly opposed by the southerners and could not reach an agreement)

How did the American people feel about going to war in Europe?​
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

For well-off white professionals who were part of the Progressive movement, Keene writes, taking an interest in the war in Europe was part of becoming “citizens of the world.” Some of them formed the Committee for Relief in Belgium (CRB). True to the technocratic orientation of Progressivism, they tackled the problem of helping civilians in German-occupied areas in practical terms, negotiating with both Germany and Britain to allow shipments of food and clothing past their military forces.
