For the upcoming week, I have listed a tentative set of
assignments. Hopefully, this will help both students and parents to
plan their study and homework sessions accordingly.
Monday: Read pp. 140-144 in Textbook. Complete "Terms and Names,"
and "Critical Thinking" #4 on p. 144
Tuesday: Reading of an in-class handout pp. 50-56. Complete "Review
and Using the Lesson" p. 52 (#1 only) and p. 56 (#1 and #3).
Wed: Blog Assignment: Was the 3/5 compromise the best possible
solution to the issue of slavery?
Thu/Fri: To Be Determined.
In addition to these assignments, our first exam is tentatively
scheduled for Friday October 12th. The exam will cover the
foundations of America's government, from colonial times through the
constitutional convention. It will consist of roughly 25-30 short
answer questions, and one essay question.
The following website has all of the material that will be on the
exam:

I don't believe it was the best solution to the issue of slavery. I said this because no one is 3/5 of a person. If you are a person you should be counted as a whole. Also no person should ever be treated as a slave or be taxed on. I know for a fact I wouldnt like it and it is unfair and cruel to many. That is what I think about the 3/5 compromise.

The three fifths compromise was a deal stating three fifths of the states slave population will counted as tax.The only thing this compromise would achieve is making people lessen the amount of slaves they own.I think instead of the compromise and the civil war they should've voted if they still wanted slavery.Only a equal number of the votes will be read beacause there are big states in the south who will pretty much win.This will decrease the amount of violents and hopefully abolished slavery easily.

i would say no becouse slaves are also people so one should be considered a whole person and not three be considered one.this should be a way to get them to start thinking about ending slavery becouse maybe some other people felt that the three fifths compromise was just away to increase a couple of states population.
I think the 3/5 compromise was the best possible solution to the issue of slavery because both small and big states got what they wanted. If the northern states hadn't agreed with that then the southern states wouldn't have approved the new goverment. So basically everybody gave something and they also got something, which to me, seems fair.
I think that the 3/5 compromise was not the best possible solution to the issue of slavery because I think that they should be treated equally. I also think that it was really selfish of the North to do that with the slaves because I'm sure that if anyone from the North was treated like slave they would not like being treated unfairlyas well. People also should not determine how other people are treated based on color.

The 3/5 compromise was not the best solution for issue of slavery. It was not a good issue for many reasons. One reason was that if only 3/5 of the population of slaves were counted what would happen to the other slaves. Are the slaves not counted no bodies? Would it be all right if only 3/5 of the male, female, children, etc. population were counted? No so they should have counted all slaves or no slaves because it would be unfair. People back then should have thought about how it would feel to be in their shoes. They wouldnt like it, so why do they do it to slaves? Because they are only slaves? Also, which slaves would be counted? Who would pick which slaves should be counted or not. It would be like choosing who is a somebody and who is a nobody. The 3/5 compromise was the not the best solution for the issue of slavery because it was unfair.

Was the 3/5 compromise the best possible solution to the issue
of slavery?
I think that the 3/5 compromise wasnt the best solution to the issue of slavery, because the slaves still dont really count as people, only a percentage of them do. Ofcourse southern states would want to count the slaves as people for more power in the congress. I dont think it is the best, but I cant see another solution as well, but counting just 3/5 of the slaves isnt counting as people.

The 3/5 compromis was not the best possible solution to the issue of slavary. They can count someone 3/5 of a human just because of their skin color. They should have counted them equally like everyone else. They tried to make the issue better , but they made people think of slaves now less. They should have counted them equally into the representation and population because they were there, they were part of the population! It just makes no sense, to not count a someone as a full person.
I think the 3/5 compromise was the best possible solution. I think the North didn't want the south to have more power. So they just used “slaves do not count” as an excuse. In the end both states got something fair. The south got some more numbers added to there population, however not to many. Just enough to keep the North happy and still have more power than the south.
The 3/5ths compromise was an attempt to possibly solve to the question of slavery.The southern states such as Georgia and South Carolina relied heavily on slavery. Although slavery is morally wrong, it was the main economic support for the south and without it, the southern states would be on the verge of an economic collapse. I do not think that the 3/5ths compromise was the best solution to slavery because both sides(north and south)were holding their own opinions on the situation. Many northerners thought that slavery was bad mainly because the north did not rely on slavery at all. The case was different for the southern states however. This is the reason why I believe that the 3/5ths compromise was not the best solution to solving the issue of slavery in the 13 colonies.

I think it was a bad compromise because african americans were humans too and they sohuld have been counted as a whole person for the purpose of representation. I think the southern states were hypocritical in wanting slaves counted as a full person but then treating them as property. Also slaves dont vote and they are counted as 3/5 of a person but slaves dont vote and they are a whole person. Counting slaves as a full person would have been a fairer way to determine representaion in congress.

i think that the 3/5s compromise was a good solution for that time but it could have been better but the north states had to compromise some how . They wanted alto from the south states and the south states fought back which was a good thing because it wouldn’t been right to count slaves so they can pay taxis but not let them represent congress. Coming up with the 3/5 compromise was something just to get both sides satisfied they weren’t happy just had enough so no one thought they could over rule any one

I think that the 3/5 compromise was the best possible solution to the issue of slavey. It pleased both the north and the south, even though it did not please each of them all the way. It pleased the south because this ment that 3/5 of their slaves would be counted as part of their population (representation). It did not please the south because this ment they would have to pay higher taxes.This peased the north beaause it ment that the south would have to pay more taxes. It did not please the north because it ment that 3/5ths of the slaves in the south would be counted as population.
though the 3/5 compromise did not please the south all the way and it did not please the north all the way it did please them both partally so i do belive it was the best solution.I t ment that he north did not have higher power than the south and that the soth did not have higher power than the north.
i think the 3 fifths compromise was a good solution for slavery because it gave the slaves the right to be counted for as part of the population. That way they have a little dignity. Its a good compromise but its no the best solution the best solution was to stop slavery completley or to pay the slaves that way it be like a job and they can work for somthing. That way it wouldnt be called slavery it just be a low paying job. Thats what i think the best solution for slavery would be, to stop it completly and seee each tothers as equallls! beee
