Answer: D) He believed settlers in these territories should be able to choose whether or not to permit slavery.

Alexander Stephens was an American politician who served as the 50th Governor of Georgia from 1882 to 1883. He was a Southern Whig who strongly opposed the Mexican-American War. He was also a prominent supporter of the Compromise of 1850. He opposed secession, at the same time as he wanted to expand slavery into the territories.

The (BLANK) philosophers believed that every aspect of life should be governed by strict and impersonal laws. PLEASE HELP ME
Makovka662 [10]

<u>Answer</u>: The <u>Legalists </u>philosophers believed that every aspect of life should be governed by strict and impersonal laws.

The Legalism is the third intellectual current that flourished in China before the unification by the Qin Dynasty. The three centuries before the unification were so rich in terms of political thought that is known as “The Golden Age of Chinese Philosophy” with “The Hundred Schools” of thoughts. Other famous schools in this period are Confucianism and Taoism.

The long period of war were times of great chaos and disorder. Profound changes happened during these three centuries – economical, military and social changes. A new administrative approach needed to arise and the Legalists were at the forefront of this innovation.  

Legalism is the most practical current of that period. Legalists would not focus on philosophical speculations, such as the evolution of the human nature, morality or divine will. Instead, they focus on how to achieve the goal of unification. Nothing, not even the past, could distract them of this goal. Because of that, they defended that the past doesn’t teach a thing and doesn’t shape the present or the future, but a radical change in the present is the only way to restructure the society. This change could only happen by “the rule of the law”, where individual morality of the ruled and the rulers are not taken into consideration. They believed that every aspect of life should be governed by strict and impersonal laws. Applying those is the radical change that would create a powerful government, able to coerce its subjects and install a rich state and a powerful army. In that scenario, the state has the ultimate authority and such power is given to it by means of military strength.
