When the founding fathers drafted the Constitution of the United States of America‚ the convention became divided over the continuation of slavery within the nation. Northern delegates‚ who already detested the institution on moral grounds‚ were further opposed to it due to added concessions to southern states (Document 1).

classmates. I’m here to talk about childhood. What is childhood? According to science‚ childhood is “the stage before puberty” or‚ to be more specific‚ “the state of a child between infancy and adulthood.” But childhood is so much more than a concrete reality defined by literal terms.
