Explanation:

Question 17:

The 3/5ths compromise counted 3 out of every 5 enslaved persons as part of the population for purposes of apportioning representatives and direct taxes. States with fewer enslaved persons would benefit less politically as they would have fewer additional "counted" individuals for representation. Massachusetts had 0 enslaved persons, so it would receive the least political benefit from the 3/5ths compromise.

Question 18:

The Treaty of Paris of 1783 ceded far more territory to the United States than the colonies had won in the war. It granted the U.S. control of a vast area from the Atlantic to the Mississippi River, including lands previously held by the British.

Question 17: b. Massachusetts

Question 18: c. ceded (gave) far more territory to the United States than the colonies had won in the war
