Sonya writes an essay about children in the early 1800s:

Children in the early 1800s faced a lot of hard work. They usually had to help their families with household chores. These chores included gardening, sewing, and caring for other children. When their parents got sick, they had to do even more work to help their family meet its needs. Along with these chores at home, most children had long schooldays and a lot of homework.
Which statement corrects a mistake in Sonya's essay?
A.)Few children had to help their families with household chores. B.)Children were not considered responsible enough to care for other children.
C.)Early American children had lots of time to play and relax. D.)Most children were unable to attend school or receive an education. ****

When the Framers of the Constitution decided to use population as a basic for tax rates, what debated issue was resolved?

A.)whether to take steps to limit the slave trade

B.)whether to allow states or Congress to tax trade

C.)whether to elect the President directly or indirectly

D.)whether to count slaves in the population of the South****

Right.

For the first question, the correct statement that corrects a mistake in Sonya's essay is D.) Most children were unable to attend school or receive an education.

To arrive at this answer, let's analyze the information provided in the essay. Sonya states that children in the early 1800s faced a lot of hard work and had to help their families with household chores. This information is generally accurate. However, the essay then goes on to claim that children had long schooldays and a lot of homework.

To check the accuracy of this claim, we can refer to historical knowledge. In the early 1800s, formal education was not yet widely accessible to all children, especially those from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Most children did not have long schooldays or a lot of homework because they did not attend school regularly or at all. Therefore, statement D.) corrects the mistake in Sonya's essay by providing the accurate information that most children were unable to attend school or receive an education.

For the second question, the debated issue that was resolved when the Framers of the Constitution decided to use population as a basis for tax rates is D.) whether to count slaves in the population of the South.

To find this answer, let's understand the context. The Framers of the Constitution were discussing how to determine the population-based representation and taxation for each state. The issue of counting slaves in the population was a significant debate between the Northern and Southern states.

The Northern states argued against counting slaves as part of the population because it would increase the representation and tax burden of the Southern states, where slavery was prevalent. Conversely, the Southern states wanted to count slaves as part of their population to gain more representation and reduce their tax burden.

Ultimately, a compromise, known as the Three-Fifths Compromise, was reached. It stated that each slave would be counted as three-fifths of a person for both representation and taxation purposes. Therefore, statement D.) correctly identifies the debated issue that was resolved by counting slaves in the population of the South.
