Answer:

d. The extension of slavery to United States territories should be prohibited by the federal government, but slavery should be protected in the states where it already existed

Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln, the Republican candidate for the presidency in 1860, was morally opposed to slavery, but he also recognized that slavery was permitted by the existing law of the land, the US Constitution.  So Lincoln's initial position on slavery -- and the platform of the Republican Party in 1860 -- was to stop the spread of slavery.

The Republican platform in 1860 rejected the idea that the Constitution allowed for the extension of slavery into any or all of the territories of the United States as "a dangerous political heresy."  The party platform went on to say this:

  • <em>That the normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom: That, as our Republican fathers, when they had abolished slavery in all our national territory, ordained that “no persons should be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law,” it becomes our duty, by legislation, whenever such legislation is necessary, to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all attempts to violate it; and we deny the authority of Congress, of a territorial legislature, or of any individuals, to give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the United States.</em>

Both were famous abolitionist in the U.S. although Garrison was white and Douglass was black.  They <span>were also close friends and co-workers in the American Anti-Slavery Society up till 1850 when bills for the Compromise were passed.

Garrison to Douglass: with California joining as a free state, we may soon have sufficient support to overturn the Constitution and write a new one.  I hope it will be done in a peaceful manner though.

Douglass to Garrison: the founding fathers did not see slavery as a long term phenomenon here; just as Washington DC is ending the slave trade now. We do not need a new Constitution but there may be conflicts when slavery is abolished.

What was the status of christianity in the roman empire during the first three centuries A.D.?
luda_lava [24]
The early Roman empire saw Christianity as a sort of cult that was potentially dangerous. Christians practice the idea of only one God and therefore did not participate in certain pagan practices such as the Caesar worship which the Romans viewed as disloyalty to their rulers thus the persecutions against  Christians began. At the end of the first century Christianity severed all ties with Judaism and established itself as an independent religion.

Why were scribes important in Sumerian society?!
Lera25 [3.4K]
Scribes were extremely important in Sumerian society since they were needed to transcribe everything that was written, because this was before the time of the printing press (which made duplication of such documents are easier).
