Answer:

<h2>It went against the ideals of freedom on which the nation was founded. </h2>

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence (1776) famously asserted:  "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights," and "that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."   For the principle embedded in the Declaration of Independence to ring true in America, those words need to be applied to all humanity -- including non-white and non-male persons.  For the government to derive its powers justly from the consent of the governed, African Americans needed to be counted as citizens and included as voters.

The Republican Party platform in 1860 pointed out the paradox between America's ideals and the continuation of slavery.   The Republicans, whose presidential candidate was Abraham Lincoln, rejected the idea that the Constitution allowed for the extension of slavery into any or all of the territories of the United States as "a dangerous political heresy."  The party platform went on to say that "the normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom ... We deny the authority of Congress, of a territorial legislature, or of any individuals, to give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the United States."

Because Kennedy was elected by a slim margin, he lacked a popular mandate true or false
Vanyuwa [196]

That statement is true

When presidents are elected with popular mandate, it is very easy for the presidents to pass any laws that he/she wants because their sheer popularity would give overwhelming public support that put pressure for the opposition to conform.

Since Kennedy was elected by a slim margin, a large portion of public still oppose his policies during earlier years of his presidency. This make it easy for his opposition to limit his movement so he can't pass the policy that he wants.

What hazards did the original traders on the Silk Road face, and how did they protect them selves
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

The silk road whose name was derived from the popular trade in silk, was a connection of trade routes which linked the east to the west. It was important to the cultural, political, economic and religious communications between these regions in the 18th century. Some of the places connected were south Asia, southeast Asia, east Asia, east Africa, Persia and southern Europe. The silk road was important to the development of these regions.

The common hazards the traders of the silk road faced were bandits. Bandits were a threat as expensive products like gold were transported through these roads. Another hazard was the difficult terrain and mountains the caravans had to navigate. Next was the deserts and sandstorms.

To overcome the bandits challenge, the traders traveled with their own defense forces. Traders wore thick coverings to protect from the sandstorms.
