Answer:

Because it was the only way to get all 13 states to agree to the Constitution, and the founders wanted all 13.

Explanation:

Slavery was fundamental to the US economy in the 1780s. Northerners traded slaves and carried slaves from Africa to the US in their Nortern ships. In the South, agriculture was the main economy, and it all depended on slave labor.

If the US Constitution abolished slavery, there was no chance of getting all 13 states to join. Instead of uniting the 13 states into one government, the country would have been split apart.

Of course, in 1861, the country WAS split apart by the US Civil War. The Civil War came about mainly over the issue of expanding slavery into the Western Territories.

The story of the 47 Ronin is a real historical account of Japan. Its author wanted to reinstate in the modern times that there is more to human life than the repetitive existence and work. People must find in themselves a deeper sense of existence, a deeper meaning in life, an unending adherence to a long history of culture and loyalty. The Japanese ronin existed in an era in Japan where there were no more wars to fight. The samurai was regarded as a warrior class that earns deep respect from the people. In fears that the Japanese spirit might be slowly slipping away, it is very timely that the story of the 47 Ronin is retold. Should the author have existed in feudalistic Europe, the story would have been different because in Europe, treatment of knights is very different. The knights were given land titles to govern. Knighthood is only given to the noblemen. It is more of a status quo rather than a binding story for loyalty and respect.

LuckyWell [14K]
The rise of corporations after 1865 was partially caused by the rising and booming capitalism which saw that very large structures and companies needed a different way of self-organization. For that reason organizations emerged as natural entities.
