Question

In 1787: ______and _______ objected the idea of the slave trade ending and would not vote for any constitution that ended slave trade.

Answer 1

South Carolina and Georgia objected to the ending of the slave trade in 1787 and demanded its continuance for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1787, during the Constitutional Convention, a significant debate took place regarding the slave trade. South Carolina and Georgia strongly objected to the ending of the slave trade and would not support any constitution that prohibited it. A compromise was reached, known as the 'dirty compromise', where New England agreed to include a constitutional provision to protect the foreign slave trade for twenty years.

In exchange, delegates from South Carolina and Georgia agreed to support a clause that made it easier for Congress to pass commercial legislation. This agreement allowed the Constitution to be ratified with the support of Southern states that wanted to continue the slave trade.
