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.

What are the primary goals of the common core, standardized tests, and STEM education from the perspective of the US government?
Lorico [155]

d) America's future in the global economy is tied to improving educating in scientific and technological advances.

Standardized education and STEM programs aimed to bring the US to a higher level and the same level throughout the country. It focuses on improving technology so the US can keep up with the progressing economy.

During the Reagan presidency, an educational study was performed to assess the quality of US schools. The report was called a Nation at Risk and revealed the education of the US had fallen behind on a global level. Steps were taken to bring the US up to par. Under the Clinton administration, the education plan included standards for minimum requirements for schools to achieve as well as creation of standardized testing. The Bush administration continued this process by creating No Child Left Behind which set rules for meeting standards and provided funding for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education. The Obama administration added Common Core creating national standards for education. All of these programs have been with the government's goal to advance US education.
