"I understood, too, that in ordinary civil administration this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery."
<span>Means that the oath he took when he(Abraham Lincoln) went into office and became president forbids him to do something that breaks the constitution no matter if his OWN morals say something else.
</span>
"I had publicly declared this many times and in many ways; and I aver that, to this day I have done no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery."
<span>He publicly said this to show every one his views on slavery different ways and he states that to that day he's done no official act to defend his judgement and view on slavery.
</span>
"I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserving, by every indispensable means, that government, that nation, of which that Constitution was the organic law."
<span>He understood that his oath to preserve the constitutions to the best of his ability by any means necessary because the constitution was the main law.
</span>
"Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the Constitution?"
<span>He looks for an alternate way to find a way to preserve the constitution without losing the nation.</span>
Answer:
The answer is Source 1, because it contains a lot of factual information
Explanation:If you know what "factual information"means it deals with facts and it is short and non explanatory. And in source 1 it says "A pamplet that includes diagrams and technical terms for the phases of the caterpillar's development" a pamplet is another thing for a brochure that just contains information.
Answer:
Global warming is a phenomenon where the earth’s average temperature rises up due to increased amounts of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and ozone trap the incoming radiation from the sun. This effect creates a natural “blanket” which prevents the heat from escaping back into the atmosphere. This effect is called a greenhouse effect.
Contrary to popular belief, greenhouse gases are not inherently bad. In fact, the greenhouse effect is quite important for life on earth. Without this effect, the sun’s radiation would be reflected back into the atmosphere, freezing the surface and making life impossible. However, when greenhouse gasses in excess amounts get trapped, serious repercussions begin to appear. The polar ice caps begin to melt, leading to the rise in sea levels. Furthermore, the greenhouse effect is accelerated when polar ice caps and sea ice melts. This is due to the fact the ice reflects 50% to 70% of the sun’s rays back into space; but without ice, the solar radiation gets absorbed. Seawater reflects only 6% of the sun’s radiation back into space. What’s more frightening is the fact that the poles contain large amounts of carbon dioxide trapped within the ice. If this ice melts, it will significantly contribute to global warming.
A related scenario when this phenomenon goes out of control is the runaway-greenhouse effect. This scenario is essentially similar to an apocalypse, but it is all too real. Though this has never happened in the earth’s entire history, it is speculated to have occurred on Venus. Millions of years ago, Venus was thought to have an atmosphere similar to Earths’. But due to the runaway greenhouse effect, surface temperatures around the planet began rising.
If this occurs on earth, the runaway greenhouse effect will lead to many unpleasant scenarios – temperatures will rise hot enough for oceans to evaporate. Once the oceans evaporate, the rocks will start to sublimate under the heat. To prevent such a scenario, proper measures have to be taken to stop climate change.
Answer:
Which mission did Sally Ride fly for NASA?
Explanation:
A direct object is a noun that denotes the <u>recipient</u> of the action of a verb.
