Answer:

California was the biggest of all new states and likely candidates to enter the Union, though it was not very populated by then. However, its population was rising fast because of the golden rush and significant immigration from the East Coast after 1848.

The Southern states, which allowed and supported slavery, were worried that the incorporation of California as a free state would alter the delicate balance of power between free states and slavery states in Congress and in general. Let´s not forget that slavery was very important to the South because its economy was agricultural and demanded a large labor force to function.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Like other Muslims, the Shi´ites believe in the unity of God (Allah is the only God) and His divine guidance through God´s Messenger , the Prophet Muhammad. But they maintain that for the moral and spiritual leadership of the ummah (community of believers), Allah instructed the Prophet to appoint Imam Ali, a figure of authority (actually he was Muhammad´s cousin and son-in-law), to succeed him as leader of all Muslims. This tenet is not accepted by Sunni Muslims, the majority in Islam. Shi´ia is predominant in Iran and Iraq.
