Futhermore, the president pro tempore designates other senators to preside in his absence, generally new members of the majority party.

In contradistinction to the vice president, the president pro tempore is a duly elected member of the Senate, able to speak and vote on any issue.

How did the military strategies of the north compare to those of the south during the capture of port royal
kirill [66]

During the American Civil War, the north and the southern armies had different goals, the Union at the beginning wanted to reunite the country, but later the goal changed to include the abolition of slavery. The Confederacy had a different goal, wanted to incorporate all slave states and secede from the Union.

To win the war the Union had to capture the Confederate territory and the Confederate just wanted to defend its territory.

After the capture of Port Royal, the Union noticed that it would be effective to make an economic pressure into the Confederates and establish a US military depot on the southeastern coast to carry out land and sea operations.

After the win of the Port Royal battle by the Union, the Confederates noticed that the coastline was too big to defend so the Confederates concentrated the defenses further inland, nearer the coastal railroads in the hope that reinforcements could be rushed to any danger point in time to prevent its capture.

Senator Stephen Douglas hoped to apply the principle of popular sovereignty to the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Identify what ""popular
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Popular sovereignty was seen on the issue of slavery as a political middle ground. Popular sovereignty is the principle that people should rule,  and as such the status of slavery  should be determined by the votes of local settlers and not congress.

During the Mexican War, when slavery became a political problem, Douglas faced a challenge. Fearing that the issue would interfere with the Constitution, he argued for the doctrine of popular sovereignty — the right of the people of a state or territory to determine for themselves the question of slavery — as a solution for the sake of the Union. He led the congressional struggle for the 18th compromise.
