Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the Civil War there were three debates to provoke the America and the region, causing them to turn into foes. There exist those Three Fifths cooperation, the river Compromise of 1820, And this Compromise of 1850. All three compromises were about this way slaves were employed and if they could remain made free or be slaves. Some answers to these compromises were to push and other people are they could settle until the North and the South seemed happy about this outcome. All these compromises run into the Civil War because always they could take the cooperation, this cooperation could make worse and worse, until the Civil War where the South and North couldn’ ’t take it anymore.

The correct answers are A) Southerners were able to maintain control of the presidency because of the number of electors from each state, and C) Southerners were able to pass key pieces of legislation through Congress.

During the 1787 Constitutional Convention, the Three-Fifths Compromise was the agreement reached by the delegates of the states that counted every slave in the United States territory as three-fifths of a person for porpuses of representation and taxation. This agreement gave the southern states more power. The decision also helped spread slaves in the south and displaced Native American Indians tribes.

So it is correct to say that The Three-Fifths Compromise changed politics in the United States before the Civil War in that Southerners were able to maintain control of the presidency because of the number of electors from each state, and Southerners were able to pass key pieces of legislation through Congress.
