The fugitive slave law was meant to return slaves, who had escaped to the "free" North, back to the South. It was a compromise set up by previous agreement made most recently in 1850. The 1850 agreement was an attempt to amend slave laws, but still allow for slavery in the South, while allowing the country to further expand to the West. The North resented the law, because it denied slaves the freedom embodied in the North. The South resented it, because they saw it as their right to own slaves per the 1850, regardless of where the slaves were in the U.S. The slaves were deemed extremely necessary because of the requirement of slave labor in the vast agricultural networks in the South.
The problem ask to calculate and make an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to y= 3x+6 and passes through the point (-10,2.5) and the best answer would be y = 3x+32.5. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
Preside over the Senate and cast tie breaker votes. of the executive branch - the Executive Office of the President, the Cabinet, and the independent agencies.Under the original rules of the Constitution, each member of the Electoral College cast two electoral votes, with no distinction made between electoral votes for president and electoral votes for vice president. The presidential candidate receiving the greatest number of votes provided that number equaled a majority of the electors, was elected president, while the presidential candidate receiving the second-most votes was elected vice president. In cases where no individual won a vote from a majority of the electors, as well in cases where multiple individuals won a majority but tied each other for the most votes, the House of Representatives would hold a contingent election to select the president. In cases where multiple candidates tied for the second-most votes, the Senate would hold a contingent election to select the vice president. The first four presidential elections were conducted under these rules.
The experiences of the 1796 and 1800 presidential elections spurred legislators to amend the presidential election process, requiring each member of the Electoral College to cast one electoral vote for president and one electoral vote for vice president. Under the new rules, a contingent election is still held by the House of Representatives if no candidate wins a presidential electoral vote from a majority of the electors, but there is no longer any possibility of multiple candidates winning presidential electoral votes from a majority of electors. The Twelfth Amendment also contained other provisions, lowering the number of candidates eligible to be selected by the House in a presidential contingent election from five to three, establishing that the Senate would hold a contingent election for vice president if no candidate won a majority of the vice presidential electoral vote, and providing that no individual constitutionally ineligible to the office of president would be eligible to serve as vice president.
After the Civil War, Southern state legislatures attempted to restrict the rights of formerly enslaved persons by "passing Black Codes" which segregated blacks from whites.
