Despite debate on slavery, no immediate law being passed shows whose power?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Power of commercial interests

The failure to pass an immediate law against slavery indicates the influence of commercial interests. Merchants, shipowners, and plantation owners gained substantial wealth from colonial production and the slave trade, so they could lobby against measures that threatened their profits. Enslaved people resisted in many ways, but they were denied equal political representation and therefore did not control the law-making process. Schools and women’s clubs were not the principal economic forces determining colonial legislation in this context. Thus, option A is correct. The broader concept is that economic power can shape political decisions and delay the application of proclaimed ideals.
