Answer: the Slave & Trade Act & 3/5ths Compromise was added to it.

Explanation:

Southern states like Georgia wanted to protect their slaveholding policies at the time the Constitution was granted and so refused to sign it unless they got certain compromises to protect it.

One of them was the Slave Trade Act which was to stop the importation of slavery into the United States. The Southern States managed to push the date of this Act such that it only came into force over ten years later.

They also demanded a 3/5ths compromise which would see every 5 enslaved people being counted as 3 people for the purposes of representation in the House of Representatives even though the enslaved people would not be allowed to vote.

HELP! When Alexander's father was killed, the city-state of Thebes rebelled. What did Alexander do?

Maslowich

Alexander the Great destroyed the city of Thebes because he wanted to send a message to the other Greeks that were thinking of revolting like Thebes did. Thebes and other Greek city-states had a pact with Phillip II, Alexander's father, king of Macedonia, that they would be a part of Macedonia. When Phillip died and Alexander took over Macedonia, the Greeks did not want to bow to a 'child' (a 20 year old). Also it had been rumored in the cities that Alexander was dead and it was the perfect time to revolt. That is the reason Alexander the Great destroyed the city of Thebes.
