David Wilmot was a Pennsylvania-born congressman who opposed slavery. His "proviso"—a clause tacked on to a number of legislation being debated in Congress—prohibited slavery in all of the new territory won from Mexico following the Mexican War. Although the proviso was well-liked in the North, it was vehemently opposed by the South and never became a part of the legislation. It declared that slavery would be outlawed in any new area that the United States might take over from Mexico. The argument over whether slavery still exists in the West was rekindled.
Of these options, the only one that was truly true of both the first and second industrial revolution is the "use of the assembly line" although the length of these lines varied.
<span>Redristricting is the method of drawing United States electoral
district boundaries. In 34 states, the state legislature has main
responsibility for creating a redistricting plan; Members of Congress, state
legislators, and many county and municipal offices are chosen by voters grouped
into districts. However once per decade, typically after a Census, district
lines are redrawn, block by block. Some districts increase residents, some lose
them. Some districts increase the numbers of minorities, some districts lose
them. District boundaries are redrawn to safeguard each district has about the
same number of people and to fulfill the constitutional guarantee that each
voter has an equal say.</span>
