What events lead up to the slave trade compromise
Anna007 [38]

Essentially, it had to do with political power. Slave-holding states wanted to include slaves who were unable to cast ballots in their political representation in Congress. Non-slave states perceived this as a ruse to exert influence over the newly formed government. This topic has been covered in a lot of writing. Contrary to some who assert that shows how the founders thought about black people, they address the problem of political representation. Since they now had more representation in the halls of government than the non-slave states, many in the slave states viewed this as a victory. Most individuals who opposed slavery simply wanted to count the free people in a population, but those who supported it wanted to count slaves as well. As a result, slave owners would be represented in the Electoral College and the House of Representatives by a greater number of seats. Numerous ratios were taken into consideration, including three-fourths, half, and one-quarter. James Madison would propose the Three-Fifths Compromise after much discussion. The Three-Fifths Compromise was not accepted by all of the states, and the Articles of Confederation needed a unanimous vote. As a result, the Compromise was not ratified until the Constitutional Convention. The Three-Fifths Compromise would dramatically increase slave-owning states' political clout and representation. If the Southern states had been represented equally, 33 seats in the House of Representatives would have gone to them. However, as a result of the Three-Fifths Compromise, the Southern states did have 47 seats in the House of Representatives of the first American Congress in 1790. As a result, by accumulating enough political influence, the South would be able to take control of presidential elections.

What was the effect of President Roosevelt's attempt to balance the federal budget?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The effect of President Roosevelt's attempt to balance the federal budget was the economic recession of 1937.

Explanation:

In 1937, the government of the Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt considered that, after 4 years of effort, the government should reduce its fiscal deficit and balance its accounts in order to avoid a progressive emptying of the public coffers. Roosevelt, who had won in the 1933 elections and had imposed the New Deal, greatly increasing public spending in line with Keynesian theory, decided it was time for the government to start pulling out of the economy. Thus, he decided to cut expenses (closing New Deal programs) and raise taxes, in order to balance the fiscal deficit.

The problem was that, as a consequence of the Great Depression and the correct application of the New Deal, the American economy was too weak not to have the support of the federal state. In other words, the American economy depended heavily on New Deal programs, and it had a degree of fiscal effort that was too great to raise taxes. Thus, with the taking of these measures, the American economy began to fall, entering in a recession.
