Explanation:
The United States is caught in a partisan hyperconflict that divides politicians, communities—and even families. Politicians from the president to state and local office-holders play to strongly-held beliefs and sometimes even pour fuel on the resulting inferno. This polarization has become so intense that many people no longer trust anyone from a differing perspective.
Drawing on his personal story of growing up as a fundamentalist Christian on a dairy farm in rural Ohio, then as an academic in the heart of the liberal East Coast establishment, Darrell West analyzes the economic, cultural, and political aspects of polarization. He takes advantage of his experiences inside both conservative and liberal camps to explain the views of each side and offer insights into why each is angry with the other.
West argues that societal tensions have metastasized into a dangerous tribalism that seriously threatens U.S. democracy. Unless people can bridge these divisions and forge a new path forward, it will be impossible to work together, maintain a functioning democracy, and solve the country’s pressing policy problems
Answer:
This Compromise regulated commerce in the North and South but not the slave trade. That was put off for another 20 years.
Explanation:
The Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise was one of the agreements reached in the Constitutional Convention of 1787. There were two issues at stake here. First, Southern states did not want the new federal government to have the power to regulate commerce. They were afraid that this would give the government the power to effectively end slavery in the United States. The second issue was the slave trade itself. Northern states wanted to abolish the international slave trade, while southern states did not.
These were contentious issues. Most northern states had already begun abolishing slavery at the state level, as they moved towards more industrial economies. The southern states, which were the richest in the country at the time, relied heavily on slave labor. It was so important to them that Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina threatened to leave the convention.
So, a compromise was struck. To appease the Southern states, it was agreed that the federal government would not have the authority to tax the export of goods from any state, and that it would not attempt to ban the international slave trade for 20 years (although it could tax imported slaves like any other product). In exchange, the slave-holding delegates of the South agreed to remain in the convention. The Constitution was finalized, but the divisive issue of slavery was built into the fabric of the country, unresolved.
