Answer:
France claimed the Mississippi River and all the lands drained by it. However, after land disputes led to the French and Indian War, France was worried that it was going to lose its hold on its land to the British. During the war, France hoped that allying with the Spanish would provide an advantage in the war. The two countries signed the Treaty of Fountainebleau in 1762. Spain agreed to fight with France, and the French gave up all the land they possessed west of the Mississippi River.

Answer:
- The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise)
- The Three-Fifths Compromise
The two compromises affected the way a state's representation in Congress would be determined.
Explanation:
Both of these compromises were devised during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.
The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states. The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation. The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population. In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery. For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures. (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.) The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.
I think it is best to be honest and answer questions appropriately based on the child's age. Use your words carefully because they will remember exactly what you say. For example, if you say "Aunt Karen went to the hospital and passed away". The child may interpret when people go to the hospital, the next step will be death. There also are children's books that can help explain the death of a loved one. If a child asks a question and you are not sure how to respond, its fair to state, "that is a good question, I don't have an answer right now however I will get back to you or have an answer for you later". The child will remember, so do your homework and more important show them you are true to your word by responding at a later date. My husband died when my son was 6 so there was many conversations about death and dying in our home. I tried my best to normalize the situation and not present it as something to fear. Losing a parent is very difficult for a child at any age, however, their brains are resilient and their coping skills are incredible. If the child becomes depressed or despondent, seek professional help. Love and comfort them as you would want to be comforted in a sad situation. Blessings.
