Question

The Slave Trade-Export Compromise did all of the following Except: Select one: a. required all treaties to be ratified by two-thirds vote of the Senate b. no export taxes placed on products going to another country c. the slave trade could continue without interference from Congress for 30 years

Answer 1

The Slave Trade-Export Compromise stated that slave trade could continue without interference from Congress for 20 years, not 30. This Compromise effectively protected slave owners and the slave trade during 20 years  ̶ until 1808. Congress could not prohibit slaves trade but they could place taxes on them as they were technically considered as merchandise.
