Why did southern and northern delegates disagree over whether the new congress should have the commerce power? southerners feared it would lead to the end of slavery. northerners feared it would lead to the expansion of slavery. northerners feared it would lead to the end of slavery. southerners feared it would lead to slavery in the north. plz me

The correct answer is a) Southerners feared it would lead to the end of slavery.

Since the South representation in the Congress would not count all of the slaves - 5/3 compromise-, they would have fewer representatives in the Congress than the northern states. Because of that, the Southern states feared that the Congress, with the North majority, would ban slavery.

i believe the answer would be 1.
