<h3>Answer</h3>

The Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia convened 55 representatives from 12 states. It was charged with revising or replacing the Articles of Confederation, which had served as the framework for governance since the American Revolution against Britain. The convention decided on a bicameral legislature and population-based representation.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was one of the most infamous provisions of the Constitution. It established a ratio of 3 to 5 of enslaved men and women in the House of Representatives for representation and taxes purposes. The document's ratification faced the most serious opposition from the larger states of Massachusetts, New York, and Virginia.

I believe that much of this was unnecessary and could have been handled more effectively. Rather than enslave, we should cooperate. If someone is unwilling to cooperate with you, there may be an issue with the way you conduct business.

Answer: It limited the President to two consecutive terms.

Explanation: The amendment prohibits any individual who has been elected president twice from being elected again.

But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term. Section 2. This Article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.”

Twenty-second Amendment (Amendment XXII) to the United States Constitution was aimed to sets a limit on the number of times an individual is eligible for election to the office of President of the United States, and also sets additional eligibility conditions for presidents who succeed to the unexpired terms of their predecessors.

Compare and contrast the excerpt from A True Relation by Captain John Smith and the excerpt from John Smith’s second account of
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:  The accounts differ because they were written about 16 years apart. Smith had different purposes. The first (from <em>A True Relation, </em>1608)<em> </em>was to encourage British people to become colonists and settle in America at Jamestown in the Virginia Colony. He wanted to portray the Native Americans as rich, friendly, and willing to trade.

The later account (from <em>the General History of Virginia, </em>1624) Was a look back. Smith's strict rules helped the Jamestown colonists to survive harsh conditions, but he had become unpopular, and after treatment In England for an injury in 1609, he did not return to Jamestown; he would not have a leadership position there. So his motivation was different. (He was not happy with The Virginia Company.) So he wrote to let people know that conditions were harsh, relations with the Native Americans were not always good, and settling at Jamestown was not in their best interest. His memory of some events may have changed.

Explanation:

The accounts differ: In the  first (1608) version, Smith describes a ceremony where "Powhatams" appears as an emperor on a bed of many mats and he and the women a round him are adorned with necklaces and chains of pearls. Smith says that they gave him food, invited him to stay, told him they'd trade corn and venison for hatchets an copper. They let him go home after four days.

The later account (from <em>the General History of Virginia, </em>1624) describes Powhatan as "a monster" and that two great stones were brought in to have Smith put his head on to be clubbed to death. Pocahontas Begged her father to let Smith go, and eventually put her own head down next to his. Powhatan agreed to free Smith . Two days later Powhatan makes friends with Smith and in exchange for  two great guns, and a grindstone, will give Smith and the colonists the Country of Capahowosick, and consider Smith his son.
