Answer 1

The best option from the list in terms of Daniel Webster's compromise on the issue of slavery would be "C. He promised his constituents he would support slavery" since he was pro-slavery. 

Answer 2

The correct option is C

Daniel Webster was a prominent statesman of the United States during the American antebellum, or pre-Civil War era. Webster gained regional prestige due to his defense of the shipping interests of New England. He had a nationalist vision whose fabulous articulation earned Webster to become one of the most renowned orators and leaders of the American Whig Party.

As in the case of Henry Clay, Webster's desire to see a solid Union and the conflicts of his time solved led him to acquire certain commitments that kept him more or less alien to the sectarianism that prevailed during the war between the Union. and the Confederate States. Although Webster tried three times, he was never elected to the Presidency of the United States. Like his attempts to reach the White House, his efforts to lead his country toward a definitive peace proved futile. In spite of the above, Webster is recognized for his intentions, which has earned him being named by the US Senate as one of its most prominent members.
