A paragraph that explains the central idea of the Fugitive Slave Act

History

vfiekz [6]3 years ago
8 0

According to the US Census the number of slaves reported as fugitives in free states in 1850 was 1,011. That number represented 1 in 3,165 slaves. The annual loss to slaveholders had increased over the years which was exacerbated by the north’s reluctance to return runaways. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 replaced the weakened fugitive Slave Act of 1793 which faced increased resistance from northern states. The new act added provisions for harsher punishment and fines for those who interfered in the capture of a runaway slave as well as gave incentives to those who captured escapees.

kirill [66]

The correct answer is D. 70% or below

Explanation:

The term national elections refer to mainly the elections of the president and vice president of the U.S. that take place every four years and in which citizens from all states of the United States are asked to vote, this date usually coincides with other federal or local elections. Even though this election system has been used for many years it has been widely criticized, one of the reason for this is the low percentage of citizens that vote in national elections as this can imply this system is not really democratic as the opinion of the majority of U.S. citizens is not reflected on the elections, in this way during the elections of 2004 the percentage of eligible population that voted was 60.1%,and in in 2008 this percentage was 61.4%, which was the highest percentage since 1968 which suggest in most election the percentage has been near to 70% or under 70%. Thus, the percentage of eligible Americans that vote on national elections is around 70% or below.
