Answer 1

Answer:

A) the amount of taxes slaveholders paid on property.

D) representation in the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

Option A is correct as this determinate the taxes that was to be paid to the state.

Option D is correct as this was the result of the debate between the states regarding their representation in the political bodies, to be more precise House of Representatives.

Namely, states that did not have slaves or have small number were debating that it's not fair to count the total population of slaves.

Therefore, B and C are not correct.
