All the options are correct.

As we know before Missouri Compromise of 1820, there were 11 free states and 11 save states and so there was a balance of power between North and South. The admission of Missouri as a slave state would result the imbalance. So we see Henry Clay, a congressman came with Missouri Compromise which provided for admission of Missouri as a slave state along with Maine as a free state in order to maintain the balance of power. It also prohibited slavery in the north of 36*30 parallel, excluding Missouri. So ultimately resolved the heated issue of the time in the Senate over slave states and free states. As it was a controversial act, it was later declared unconstitutional and was repealed by Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.

Henry Clay's Missouri compromise was significant because: It kept the balance of slave states and free states equal. Clay was also known as "<u>Great pacificator</u>" for his work on developing components on the Missouri compromise.

The Missouri compromise was a measure that passed by the U.S congress and allowed the <u>admission of Missouri</u> as the 24th state and <u>Main</u> as a free state in 1821.  

Although the compromise measures appeared to settle the slavery issue, the sectional conflict grew until it became a civil war when <u>the compromise was repealed by the Kansas Nebraska Act in 1824</u>. For this, it is said that this event led to the <u>American Civil War</u>.

The system of checks and balances refers to the ability of each branch of government to prevent another branch from becoming too powerful.  This happens within the separation of powers outlined in the United States Constitution.

The "separation of powers" principle was an idea embedded into the plans for American government by our founding fathers, based on their reading of Enlightenment political theory.  The terminology "separation of powers" was introduced by a French philosopher, Montesquieu, in <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em> (1748).  Within his treatment of how governments will function best, Montesquieu argued that executive, legislative, and judicial functions of government ought to be divided between parts of the government, so that no one person or division of the government can infringe on the overall rights of others in the government or of the members of the society overall. The framers of the United States Constitution embedded the separation of powers into the plan for US government.

As noted by The History Channel,  "In addition to this separation of powers, the framers built a system of checks and balances designed to guard against tyranny by ensuring that no branch would grab too much power."  

Some examples of the checks and balances used would be:

  • Congress (the Legislative Branch) controls the government's budget, so the Executive Branch needs Congress's support to fund any of its desired initiatives.
  • The President nominates federal officials, but those nominations must be confirmed by the Senate.
  • The President has the ability to veto laws passed by Congress, requiring a two-thirds majority to override his veto.
  • The Supreme Court and other federal courts (the Judicial Branch of government) can rule that laws passed by Congress or executive orders by the President are unconstitutional, blocking their implementation.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

I was the largest battle fought on American Soil

b and D are not correct  is not correct and it did not end the war

Explanation:

The Battle of Gettysburg fought on July 1–3, 1863, was the turning point of the Civil War for one main reason: Robert E. Lee's plan to invade the North and force an immediate end to the war failed. ... The collision of two great armies at Gettysburg put an end to that audacious plan.

The war ended in Spring, 1865. Robert E. Lee surrendered the last major Confederate army to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. The last battle was fought at Palmito Ranch, Texas, on May 13, 1865 two years after the Battle of Gettysburg
