Answer:  Acquired after the Missouri Compromise, which did not include those territories.

Explanation:

The Mexican Cession was the large region of land that Mexico ceded to the United States in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.  It included territory that would later become the states of California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of what would become Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming.  

The Missouri Compromise (1820) had admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave state with Maine being added at the same time to keep the balance of slave and free states equal.  It also prohibited any future slave states north of the 36/30' latitude line north of the equator in territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the exception of Missouri (north of that line) being admitted as a slave state.  Since that latitude line ran right through the middle of the Mexican Cession territory, and because the Missouri Compromise had only addressed lands acquired in the Louisiana Purchase territories, there was bound to be further debate over the issue of slave vs. free states.

What do you think are the potential positives and negatives to partisanship? Fill in the table with at least two positive and tw
shtirl [24]

<span>I think that the positives of partisanship is that the incumbent political leader will have the (1) unwavering support from his cohorts with regards to the projects, programs or laws that he/she will be implementing (2) their aspirations and objectives are aligned which helps in catalyzing in the changes that they may want to implement in the government or administration and (3) its identity can endure simply because it is strengthened by affiliating itself to gender, ethnic, religious and racial groups thus promoting a connection to a party which eventually generates political stability and diminish political influence by independents or nonpartisans. On the downside, partisanship may (1) promote divisiveness especially if its advocacies are met with great opposition by the non-cohorts and (2) there will be bias especially if arguments are thrown against them which leads to the scrutiny of the opposing views at a greater degree just to refute the said argument.</span>
