On January 29, 1850, the 70-year-old Clay presented a compromise. For eight months members of Congress, led by Clay, Daniel Webster, Senator from Massachusetts, and John C. Calhoun, senator from South Carolina, debated the compromise. With the help of Stephen Douglas, a young Democrat from Illinois, a series of bills that would make up the compromise were ushered through Congress.
<span>According to the compromise, Texas would relinquish the land in dispute but, in compensation, be given 10 million dollars -- money it would use to pay off its debt to Mexico. Also, the territories of New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah would be organized without mention of slavery. (The decision would be made by the territories' inhabitants later, when they applied for statehood.) Regarding Washington, the slave trade would be abolished in the District of Columbia, although slavery would still be permitted. Finally, California would be admitted as a free state.

Answer:
Economic and environment issues are most challenging for developing countries.
Explanation:
For a developing country, the issues of economic and employment are the most dangerous and challenging as the growth of all the other factors depends on this.
Economic and employment related issues can hamper the growth of the citizens which can further result in the slow development (growth) of the nation as well.
If the people of a developing country are not able to get the jobs it simply means that they are not creating per capita income for the income and thus putting the burden on the economy which is not a good for a developing country.
C. Many African and Asian nations are based on former colonial boundaries.
Explanation:
The European imperialism managed to have impact on much of the world. The Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia, Oceania were all heavily impacted. While some former colonies managed to fully move away and almost have no trace that they were colonies, many still have bad consequences from it.
One of those traces and consequences are the boundaries. The majority of the African countries and some countries in Asia still have the colonial boundaries. While this may not seem as a problem it is actually a very big one. The reason as to why this is problem is that people from different religious, ethnic, and linguistic groups have been put in the same borders. Lot of these groups traditionally have bad blood between them and don't tolerate each other.
This situation in many cases has resulted in internal division of the countries. Multiple civil wars have occurred and even genocides. The tensions still persist to this day and unfortunately don't seem like they will be calmed down anytime soon.
