Why was there such a large debate in Congress every time a U.S. territory was ready to become a state?

History
1 answer:
Eduardwww [97]2 years ago
5 0

Answer: When the United States was still gaining more states, congress had a debate if the state should be a slave state or a free state. In slave states, slavery was legal while in free states slavery was illegal. Obviously, the slave states were also conservative while the free states were more liberal, so there was a debate of that too, but the bigger debate was over slavery and its legality. Assigning states to be slave or free was just a bandaid on a gunshot wound as the U.S congress hadn't made the choice of wether slavery would be illegal or not in the whole continental United States.

According to Smith, what has resulted from division of labor
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Specialized knowledge

Saves time

Technological Innovation

Explanation:

Smith came up with certain explanations for the improvement in production by the division of labor. First, the division of labor produces expert knowledge about a specific task. Second, it saves labor time for the laborer. By concentrating on one task, rather than moving from one task to another, the professional is able to improve his time and thus increase production. Finally, the amount of time workers spend on a specific task contributes to creativity in the techniques and methods used in the activity, and thus to technical advancement that eventually promotes the task.
