Final answer:

The South Carolina Assembly did not approve the increase of the foreign slave trade to manage post-Revolution debt. Instead, other approaches like issuing paper money and adjusting debt repayment were used. Also, to ease regional tensions, the Up Country was granted equal representation in the state legislature, and South Carolina delegates supported giving the federal government the power to raise an army at the Philadelphia Convention.

Step-by-step explanation:

Post-Revolution South Carolina faced significant economic challenges, which led to several fiscal strategies to manage the state's debt. However, one practice that the South Carolina Assembly did not approve was the increase of the foreign slave trade to boost the economy. This measure was not pursued despite a 'dirty compromise' at the Constitutional Convention that protected the foreign slave trade elsewhere until 1808. Instead, other methods such as issuing paper money, extending debt repayment terms, and allowing land to be used for debt payment were implemented.

To ease tensions between the Up Country and Low Country, a resolution was found when the Up Country was given equal representation in the state legislature. This helped to placate the inhabitants of the Up Country who felt underrepresented and inequitably treated in comparison to their Low Country counterparts.

South Carolina delegates at the Philadelphia Convention were supportive of giving the federal government legislative power to raise an army. This was part of the overall movement to strengthen the central government after recognizing the weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation.

In the aftermath of the U.S. Constitution's ratification, South Carolinians in the Up Country wanted a new state constitution to gain equal representation in the South Carolina General Assembly. They felt that the power distribution within the state was unfair and sought changes at the state level to amend this imbalance.
