The dispute that happened during the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 was distributing the House of Representatives based on the population of that state.

During this time, the North and the South were arguing about whether or not slaves should count towards the population of that state. If you had a bigger population, you would get more House of Representatives in Congress. Slaves were not equally seen as people, so some thought slaves should count towards the population, while some did not.

The Three-Fifths Compromise solved this. This made it so every five slaves counted as three people in terms of counting the population. This was good for the South, as it meant they would have a greater population and more House of Representatives.

In which of the following countries has the use of genetically modified organisms had the LEAST effect? (3 points)

Nataly_w [17]

The correct answer is - Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe is a country where the agriculture is still on a primitive level, with the subsistence agricultural type being the dominant one. The introduction of the genetically modified organisms hasn't really occurred in this country, even though it is a country that can have a great benefit from it if we take into consideration its terrible food supply.

Unlike the rest of the world the tries to increase the productivity so that there's more food, and also cheaper food for the growing population and its growing appetite, Zimbabwe is still firmly holding on to its traditional ways.
