Answer:

B. The Compromise of 1850

Explanation:

The compromise act of 1850 got great admiration from historians as it settle the some of the keen issue regarding territory, slavery and boundary.

Further explanation:

The conflict of free states with slave states following the war of America with Mexico was solved by the compromise act of 1850. The process was long and complex. But it finally solved the dispute of boundary of Texas and the question of slavery among the United States of America.

The annexation of Texas by the Americans in 1845 and its unsettled territories later created problems. Secondly, the question of Newly acquired territory during the Mexican American war created further questions about its territorial acquisition by the states and slave mode of production. The prevalence of slavery in Texas made it a hot topic among the national camps supporting slavery and rejecting it. The claims of Mexico's overall territories of east and north of Rio Grande further created problems.

Clay proposed a set of bills before Congress that could settle the newly created problems but then president Zachary Taylor declined it. After the death of Taylor these bills were again presented by Douglas and new president Fillmore approved it. It was a five-set of different bills and they came to be known as Clay's Compromise or The compromise of 1950.

Under the compromise, the people of the new states would decide whether they want slavery or not. Secondly, Texas surrender New Mexico and other territories in exchange for the federal exemption of Texas's public debt. California emerged as a free state and the accumulation of the new territories into New Mexican region and Utah territory. It also banned slavery in the region of Washington D.C

Therefore the compromise of 1850 was a major breakthrough in the history of the United States of America which settled keen issues. However, we should keep in mind that the issue of slavery was settled for the time being and that postponed the American Civil war.

 

Key word:  

American Mexican War, Clay's Compromise, The Compromise of !850.

Who were ronald reagan and franklin d.Roosevelt and what viewpoint did they share about the president term office
ANTONII [103]

Ronald Reagan was the U. S. president from 1981 to 1989. Franklin D. Roosevelt was also a U. S. president. He served from 1933 to his death in 1945.

Both presidents had an interest in serving for more than 8 years, the currently-accepted maximum length for a presidential term. Franklin D. Roosevelt was president four times, due to his popularity and success in restoring the economy after the Great Depression. Serving for two four-year terms had been an unwritten rule since George Washington, but it was not a law, which enabled FDR to stay in power for longer.

After his death, Amendment XXII was passed, limiting the time a president could serve to two periods of four years. However, in 1987, Reagan made public his interest to get rid of this amendment. He argued that the change would not apply to him, but to leaders from then on.

What unflattering things does anne share about her fellow residents of the annex?
galina1969 [7]
<span>Anne uses sarcasm to point out the ridiculous ways the other Secret Annex members behave, like when she refers to Mrs. Van Daan as “Madame” or Mr. Dussel as “His Lordship”. She also says that Mrs. Van Daan is selfish, cunning, pushy, and never content. Anne also tells what Mr. Dussel does: he hoards food, takes a quarter of the gravy during dinner, gives people a silent treatment, and snores in the middle of the night which shows that Mr. Dussel is irritating and selfish.<span>

Is the perpendicular bisector of . Find KJ.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

x = 25

Explanation:

HK is the perpendicular bisector of GJ. What is KJ?

The complete question is attached.

Solution:

An equation is a mathematical statement that shows the equality between two expressions.

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides another line perpendicularly (at 90 degrees) into two equal parts.

Since HK is the perpendicular bisector of GJ, HK divides line GJ into two equal parts which is GK and KJ. hence:

GK =  KJ,  also GK + KJ = GJ

Since GK = KJ:

2x + 10 = 3x - 15

collecting like terms:

3x - 2x = 10 + 15

simplifying gives:

x = 25
