Answer:  C. 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 Mexican Cession reignited tension on the issue of slave-holding states vs. free states.

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 latitude line 36 1/2 degrees 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 compromise had applied to Louisiana Purchase territories (not specifically the new lands from Mexico), and since the specified latitude line ran right through the middle of the Mexican Cession territory, there was bound to be further debate over the issue of slave vs. free states.

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

In the United States;

The House of Representatives presiding officer is SPEAKER of the House

While the Senate's presiding officer is first, a Vice President or elected Senate, or in a rare event, Chief Justice

2. Aside from their respective role as presiding officers, the presiding officer of the Senate is more powerful due to the following reason:

He is the first in a line of succession to the position of President,

He also acts as a form of checks and balances by the executive branch to the legislation because he acts as the tiebreaker to the final decision made in the senate.

Also, the Senate gives the final legislative approval to a bill, and it is the presiding officer that oversees its approval.

How did president Roosevelt end US isolationism and neutrality during the early years of WWII?
shtirl [24]
Roosevelt sent supplies, military equipment, and surplus to help aid the Allies (usually they wouldn't do this until they were part of the war). In doing this, it shows that the US doesn't wait until they get hit, instead they reach out (even though it was only economically, in the case of military, they still waited). Roosevelt also wasn't really the reason the US ended isolationism. It was more of Emperor Hirohito. He allowed his military generals to attack Hawaii for resources and to continue on their expansions of taking over all of the Pacific. Roosevelt only "convinced" (well, all of them were hopping mad already) Congress to declare war on Japan and Germany.
