Police Simulations

Obviously, that would be greatly unfair to the northern states because the south would have more seats in the House of Representatives meaning unfair representation. As a result, many northern states refused to allow this happen so both regions came to an agreement that allowed slaves to be counted as 3/5 of a person, when doing a census for determining seats in the House of Representatives. Finally, Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 was put into the Constitution making the compromise official. The whole Convention was deadlocked on the slave representation issue which almost completely fell apart if nothing was to be done, but lucky the compromise kept the Constitutional Convention together. Moreover, the men who opposed slavery, but accepted the 3/5 clause did so knowing the Constitution had more good to give than some of the evils written in it. They could have thought the Constitution had provisions written down that could eventually outlaw slavery or maybe they realized this new government was greatly beneficial to all Americans. Although, we can now all agree that even though the 3/5th clause is wrong, it gave America a chance to become a great

The Three-Fifths Compromise of the Constitution was an agreement between Southern and Northern states in which three-fifths of the population of slaves would be counted for representation purposes for the distribution of taxes and the apportionment of the members of the United States House of Representatives. Those who opposed slavery generally wished to count only the free inhabitants of each state. Those who supported slavery wanted to count slaves in their actual numbers. The so-called compromise of counting "all other persons" as only three-fifths was for the benefit of Southern power

The Southern states wanted to include slaves (who could not vote) in their population counts to increase their numbers of representatives but the Northern states did not support slavery and did not want to give the South too much power. The three-fifths compromise solved the issue of determining state population for assigning the number of representatives in the House for each state. It said that all slaves were worth three-fifths of a free person and this was added to the number of free people to create a population count. This was the method used for determining population for direct taxes as well. This allowed the South to make up forty-seven percent of the house so they were able to protect their own

In the Federalist No. 54, James Madison states that only three-fifths of the total number of slaves in a State should be counted when determining the number of representatives in the House of Representatives from that State. Madison presents several reasons for counting slaves as three-fifths of a person, he says that the laws consider slaves as property and persons. He adds on that the southern states would think its unfair to include slaves in calculating tax burdens but not in counting the number of representatives apportioned to the states. The Author’s purpose is for both southern and northern states to come into an agreement in order to pass a constitution acceptable to all states. Madison seeks to liberate himself from any responsibility

During that time, slavery was an issue in the United States. The Southern states wanted their population, including their slave population to be counted toward their representation in the House of Representatives, the reason for this was because the higher the population, the more representatives they would receive; on the other hand, the Southern States did not want their slave population counted toward their taxes, this was because, the higher the population, the more taxes the south would have to pay; the Northern States disagreed with the Southern States on both matters, there were fewer slave states in the north so the sum of the slaves and the ordinary people would not help the northern states earn representation. Secondly, the northern states felt that if the southern states were allowed to count slaves as part of their population for representation, they should also be counted for taxation. The solution for this confusion was the Three-Fifths Compromise, which each slave would count as three-fifths of a person for both representation and taxation

90% of slaves lived in the south in 1787, and the southneres wanted as much representation as possible. They argued on one side, for slaves counting for representation. Many northerners disagreed. They stated that slaves are treated like property and should be counted like it. James Madison had a solution, that slaves should count as 3/5 of a citizen.

Yes, this indeed was a legal stop. This was a legal stop because under the stop and frisk exception police can stop a person on the streets and pat them down for illegal objects, so long as they have suspicion. And, during my midnight shift patrol I found it to be suspicious that these two men were behind a closed business. A business in which has been burglarized in the past. I do believe that stop and pat down was justified. I believe the stop was justified because the suspect did not appear to fit the time or place, as it was midnight and the business was closed. A pat down is to stop any further danger towards an officer and other people. A pat down should only be used to detect concealed weapons or contraband. So, I believe

The compromise of 1820 was a shot by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to keep up a stability of power among the slaveholding states and free states. The only thing the slaveholding feared is that if they became outnumbered in legislature illustration and that they would not have the capability to protect the interests within the trade and also property. Northern states denied it, feeling that Southern slaveholding states hold an excessive amount of power already. The Constitution accepted states to count every slave as three-fifths of an individual for functions of determining population, and thus, the amount of legislature representatives the state was entitled to. This had given the South a plus in Congress. The slaveholding

The poverty simulation for me was exiting and interesting, but most importantly, it stand as a learning experience that I am willing to carry throughout my journey as a nurse to assist and improve on the care I provide the poor and the needy people. Walking in the shoes of those in poverty during the simulation, I was frustrated because as a twenty-one year old my goals were not probably staying home and take care of my siblings or run around to find help with food or shelter but to be in college with my peers, go out on a date and parties. I was exhausted from going from one place to another just to get help with food, clothes in addition go to school.

The Southern states wanted slaves to be counted as a part of the population for the purpose of representation. This would give the Southern states more power in the House of Representatives. However, the Southern states did not want slaves to count as part of the population for taxation purposes (Dahl). The Northern states did not believe that slaves were actually treated as part of the population in Southern states and, therefore, did not believe slaves should be counted towards population. This difference of opinion as to how slaves should be counted led to the creation of the Three-Fifths Compromise. (Dahl, Lecture)

Madison thought a large republic was better representatives of the Union are more likely to be enlightened than tainted by local injustices. He believed that the Union is more secure against cruel treatment from a conflicting party because of the variety of

States in the South wanted the slaves to be counted as one person, assuring southern states would have a disproportionate say in the new federal government. Northern states didn’t like that idea because they thought that slavery should end entirely and that if Southern states were allowed to continue to gain power through slavery, ending slavery would become difficult if not impossible. The solution was the development of two comprises: one saying that if a slave runs away even in a free state they have to be returned to their owner (the Fugitive Slave Clause), and the other was that slaves in the States would be counted for 3/5th of a person, for the purposes of calculating representation in

I represented Nouri Al-Maliki the prime minister of Iraq. The prime minister in Iraq makes the executive decisions. Over the course of this this simulation thankfully I gained a lot of knowledge of how crazy it can be on the political side of things. Not only did I learn about Iraq but also I learned many new things about other countries and the way their governments run things. In the next year or so I will graduate as a High school social studies teacher and after doing this simulation I learned how valuable it can be to allow students to be apart of a simulation. The simulation helped me catch up with a lot of important political issues of current and past times.

The simulation of 1984 really brought the book 1984 to life . While playing the game my classmates and I were able to experience the horrors of the thought police, doublethink, and ingood. Playing the game I ultimately felt trapped by Big Brother.

The simulation was able to help me understand how the people in “1984” felt being under constant surveillance from everyone around them.
