Answer 1

The best and most accurate answer between the choices would be the second one.  As the Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise was reached, it stated that Congress cannot prevent slave trade, but could tax slaves that are imported. Hopefully the answer has come to your help.

Answer 2

Correct answer choice is :

B) Regulate commerce in both the North and the South, but could not yet regulate the slave trade.

Step-by-step explanation:

A constitutional convention is a meeting for the goal of writing a new constitution or changing a current constitution. Members of a constitutional convention are often, though not significantly or entirely, elected by popular vote. Congress would have the authority to forbid the slave trade, but not until 1800. The convention voted to prolong the date to 1808. A final major problem including slavery faced the delegates. Southern states wanted other states to return escaped slaves.
