Which of the following statements is / are true about the accommodations made to slave states in the original constitution? (select all that apply) although most people believe the founders adopted the electoral college instead of direct popular election of presidents because they sought to protect slavery, the real reason they did it was because they thought the people could not be trusted to responsibly elect the president through direct elections. the three fifths clause protected slave states by giving them more representatives in the house of representatives than they would get if slaves were not counted at all for purposes of apportioning seats in the house. james madison and other founders at the constitutional convention thought it best to leave the word slavery out of the constitution because they did not believe the constitution actually did anything to protect the institution of slavery. no delegate at the constitutional convention was morally opposed to slavery. the original constitution had nothing to say about either the atlantic slave trade or fugitive slaves.

The answer is: The Three Fifths Clause protected slave states by giving them more representatives in the House of Representatives than they would get if slaves were not counted at all for purposes of apportioning seats in the House.

Hope this helped!!

According to the question, the statement that is true about the accommodations made to slave states in the original constitution is the “Three Fifths Clause” which protected slave states by giving them more representatives in the House of representative than they would get if slaves were not counted at all mainly for the purposes of apportioning seats in the House (option 2 in the answer choices)

The constitution first indication of slavery appears in article 1, section 2. It is the three fifths clause that explains the apportionment of representation and taxation. This states that

This clause explains further that for the purpose of representation and taxation, the numbers of person in each state is to be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons three fifths “of all other person” the phrase in the context free persons further explained that in addition to free citizens, all persons who are bound to serve for term of years including indentured servant are also included in the total number for representation.  However Indians are not taxed and they are excluded from the population to be represented.
