According to the doctrine of separation of powers, the U.S. Constitution distributed the power of the federal government among these three branches, and built a system of checks and balances to ensure that no one branch could become too powerful.
<u>James Madison</u> was one of leaders at the convention of 1787 in which he took very detailed notes, which was published decades on. He had also written the first few drafts of the new US constitution and took the role as president of the United states in 1808.
At the time, the Lousiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States giving her power and resources(land, water, trade routes, minerals). It also gave America access to the ports in the area greatly aiding trade. The land had belonged to France before it was sold to America, so the purchase removed their presence in the area for the most part. It also fixed ties with France who had previously asked for aid in the French Revolution to which America said no; giving France money in the form of this purchase healed the connection slightly.
The Oregon territory officially belonged to Britain, but was mostly inhabited by Native Americans. It was a very large area that caused many disputes between the European colonists due to the fur-trade. America gained the land (segments of present-day Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, and Montana) in 1859 when Oregon officially became a state. Many Native Americans were also sent here as America continued to gain territory. The giving over of the land was used to settle the boundary dispute between America and Britain.
The correct answer is A) Abolished slavery in the Confederacy.
The Emancipation Proclamation abolished slavery in the Confederacy. During the tough times of conflict and confrontation during the American Civil War, United States President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. This was a very important moment in the history of the United States in that a US President proclaimed that all the slaves in the Confederate states were free.
The proclamation only was valid in the Confederated states that had seceded from the Union, and of course, it was not taken into consideration until many years after the war had ended.
It's the second one that's correct...
