Answer:
The debate over slavery divided the United States into two sides. The north emerged as the center of antislavery activity during the abolitionist movement. The abolitionists objected to slavery for moral reasons. They believed that it was an unjust practice that stripped humans of their dignity.
Explanation:
Slavery was practiced in British America from the beginning of the colonial era, and was firmly established when the Declaration of Independence of the United States was signed. After this, there was a gradual expansion of abolitionism in the North, that stated that slavery was contrary to human dignity, while the rapid expansion of the cotton industry since the 1800s caused the South to cling tightly to slavery, and try to expand it into the new western territories of the country. Thus, slavery polarized the nation into slave states and free states through the Mason-Dixon line, which separated Maryland (slave) and Pennsylvania (free).
A bill is a an idea that can come from any person but that unlike other forms of legislation like joint resolutions they are proposed to affect not the general public or the legislation at large, but rather resolve issues in specific cases. A bill can be private, in which instance it only affects an organization or a person in particular, or it can be a general bill, which affects the public at large. A bill can, as said before, be proposed by anyone. However, in order for it to be processed, it must be sponsored by a member of Congress, be it a Senator or House Representative and the House must be in session. Bills can be introduced either at the House or Senate by the sponsor(s). If it happens at the House, the bill is placed into a box known as the hopper on the Speaker´s platform. If it is otherwise introduced in the Senate, it must be either placed on the desk of the presiding officer or it must be formally introduced on the Senate´s Floor. This is why the only thing that never happens when introducing a bill in Congress is that the president may make an announcement in a press conference. Correct answer is therefore D.
