Answer:

Southerners supported the Kansas-Nebraska Act because it gave them the possibility to decide whether to allow slavery or not in their states, based on popular sovereignty.

Explanation:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed by the Congress on May 22, 1854. This law provided for the organization of the Kansas and Nebraska territories. The so-called Missouri Compromise of 1820 was also revoked and the inhabitants of both future states were given the opportunity to decide for themselves about the possible admission of slavery, in the name of self-government by the people or popular sovereignty. The law entered into force on May 30.

The author of the law was Stephen Douglas, senator for the Democratic Party from the state of Illinois. He hoped for a reconciliation of North and South, but opponents rejected the law as a concession to the southern slave states. The Republican Party, founded by opponents of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, strongly opposed the expansion of slavery. The party would soon dominate national politics. The whole controversy renewed the political interest of Abraham Lincoln, who was to be elected the first Republican president in 1860.

Who was in charge of the government of Iran during the
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Ayatollah Khomeini was in charge of the government of Iran during the hostage crisis.

Explanation:

The Iran hostage crisis took place after the US embassy in Tehran was seized by a group of several hundred students and took all those in the diplomatic mission as hostages. This event took place nine months after the victory of the Islamic revolution in Iran, when the power struggle was still going on between the forces participating in the revolution.

The attack on the embassy was carried out by students identifying with the Iranian Islamic left, however, it gained the support of all political forces except the liberals; led to the collapse of the government of Mehdi Bazargan, and in the long run gave political benefits mainly to Ruhollah Khomeini and his supporters.

On April 24, 1980, the US Army carried out a failed operation, the purpose of which was to recapture hostages. They were eventually released, after US-Iran negotiations, on January 20, 1981.
