Explanation:
To use a word denotatively implies to use the word in its literal sense. The literal meaning of a word is its denotative meaning.

The admission of Alabama as a slave state was the main point of controversy that led to the Missouri Compromise. After Alabama wanted to be part of the Union by being a slave state, the number of free state to slave state became equal to 11. This angered the free states and the members of the Congress that were in favor of slavery free states. The only way to stop the coming civil war was the Missouri Compromise. If Missouri was admitted as the slave state then the balance of equality would tilt towards the slave states and this would result in a big clash. To stop this from happening, the Missouri Compromise was the middle path that was chosen.
It all depends on which American Dream you're talking about.
When I Google the American Dream, a website defines it as "...the belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into, can attain their own version of success in a society where upward mobility is possible for everyone."
This isn't true. It just isn't.
In a perfect world, the dream itself doesn't change, but the rules we have in place to keep specific groups of people lower than others do. I personally believe it can't. I do think it is achievable without hard work; specifically if you aren't a minority, and born into a rich family. But, this is just my personal opinion.
