Answer:

The United States Congress wanted to create a "transcontinental railroad".

Explanation:

The Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862 was the way through which the United States Congress wanted to promote all aspects referring to the establishment of a "transcontinental railroad" throughout the United States. United States Congress wanted to accomplish this through the utilization of government bonds as well as the grants of the land regarding the different railroad companies.

In 1853, Congress authorized the War Department to conduct some surveys related to the five possible transcontinental routes. These routes would be from the north of Mississippi to the south. However, any route was established.

Who becomes president if the 25th amendment is invoked
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The vice president

Explanation:

The 25th amendment was made to solve the problem of who becomes president if the current president is unable to fulfill their duties. The amendment states, "if the President becomes unable to do his job, the Vice President becomes the President or Acting President." With "acting president" means that the vice president will only have the title/power for a limited time. The 25th amendment may be invoked if the president dies or is unconscious for an amount of time. The first will result in the vice president becoming president and the latter will cause the vice president to become the acting president.

The 25th amendment was recently invoked when President Biden underwent a medical procedure. Kamla Harris then became acting president for a few hours.

Answer:

3. The Kansas-Nebraska Act was to introduce the idea that popular sovereignty is the means by which slavery should be legal in Kansas. ... Tension was strong between both on the issue of slavery, they both longed to see Kansas as a state either free or in which slavery was legal according to their interests.

It allowed people in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether or not to allow slavery within their borders. The Act served to repeal the Missouri Compromise of 1820 which prohibited slavery north of latitude 36°30´. ... Violence soon erupted, with the anti-slavery forces led by John Brown.
