The South opposed the Wilmot Proviso because it would have prevented any new territories from having slavery in them.
In 1846, Congressman David Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced the proviso as an amendment to an appropriations bill in connection with the peace treaty being negotiated with Mexico. His amendment stipulated that any territory gained from Mexico would be free, not allowing slavery. The specific language of the proviso went like this:
<span><em>Provided, That, as an express and fundamental condition to the acquisition of any territory from the Republic of Mexico by the United States, by virtue of any treaty which may be negotiated between them, and to the use by the Executive of the moneys herein appropriated, neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall ever exist in any part of said territory, except for crime, whereof the party shall first be duly convicted</em>.

Wilmot's amendment passed in the House of Representatives, but was unable to get approval in the Senate. The high-intensity debate over slavery and the expansion of slavery was evidenced by how things went with the "Wilmot Proviso."
The economic theory that developed in the 17th century was mercantilism. <span />
Treaty of Versailles carved out disproportionate shares of land between the winners.
Explanation:
The Treaty of Versailles was supposed to end the war and be on the terms that it does not make another contest arise between the powers of Europe.
However, the winners of the war carved out a huge share of the land between themselves and Russia and effectively ended the empire of Austro Hungary.
Germany also got the short end of the stick and Italy did not negotiate its position well.
This left the countries dissatisfied and germinated the seeds of another conflict that led to the second world war.
