Question

delegates to the constitutional convention were free white people. thirty-six percent of delegates were compared to 17 percent of the population, representing an by about 19 percentage points.

Explanation:

Analyze the first blank

The top chart shows "Enslaved people" vs "Delegates". The "Delegates" arc is at 100% (representing free White people, as enslaved people made up 20% of the United States population but 0% of the delegates). Therefore, all delegates to the Constitutional Convention were free White people.

Analyze the second blank

The bottom chart shows "Slaveowners" vs "Non-slaveowners". For "Delegates", the inner arc shows 36% were slaveowners and 64% were non-slaveowners. The text states: "Thirty-six percent of delegates were [blank] compared to 17 percent of the population". Looking at the "United States families" label, 17% were slaveowners. Thus, the blank must be "slaveowners".

Analyze the third blank

Comparing 36% (delegates who were slaveowners) to 17% (population families who were slaveowners) shows that slaveowners had a higher share among delegates than in the general population. This represents an "overrepresentation" by about 19 percentage points (\(36\% - 17\% = 19\%\)).

Answer:

... delegates to the Constitutional Convention were <blank>all</blank> free White people. Thirty-six percent of delegates were <blank>slaveowners</blank> compared to 17 percent of the population, representing an <blank>overrepresentation</blank> by about 19 percentage points.
