It took Jamestown at least another 2 to 3 years to start growing tobacco to become a profitable town. -
People who survived the starvation period had a head-start in the Americas getting 100 acres of land. The head-right system helped people get on board with the new found cash crop tobacco. In order to help production on tobacco England offered 50 acres per person for a one way trip to the colonies.

At the time many people wondered how voting for laws or voting for a new president would work. For example, Virginia and New Jersey had a completely different population difference. So one state being dominantly republican and the other being dominant to the opposing party this would offset the fairness of the voting system. So they created this for it to become fair, making every state have 2 state representatives that way all colonies could have an equal number of votes no matter population. -
Now that we acquired the voting system for 2 representatives for each state now we need to figure out what to do with the south states votes. Who ever has the most votes gets to choose which party will win so every vote counts. The south took into account the amount of slaves or potential voters they had, arguing that since they paid for the slaves and they are human they should vote but without other freedoms. This made every 5 slaves equal 3 votes because there were far more slaves than owners -
