Shay's Rebellion was a revolt in Springfield, Massachusetts where armed rebels led an uprising against the government officials who would come to collect taxes. The people in Springfield felt very far from the government in Washington D.C. which they essentially were far from. This pushed for changing the Articles of Confederation, because it took a long time to quell the rebellion and there was a general recognition for the need of a stronger, more centralized government, so that this type of scenario would never happen again.
The passage of 1850´s Act was prompted as a way to try to avoid crisis between North and South. The resolutions were introduced by Senator Henry Clay. As part of the Compromise , the Fugitive Slave Act wass amended and slave trade in Washington D.C. abolished .
Displacement is the word we use for the distance covered so in this case when a car travels 20 meter east in 1 second, at the end of that 1 second interval a car travels a distance of 20 meter.
And the distance covered is the displacement, so it means that displacement of the car after 1 second is 20 meter east.
