Answer:

B. They did not want slavery to extend to new areas of the United States.

Explanation:

The abolitionists didn't want to support the Mexican-American War because they did not want another slave state, in this case, Texas. War was always supported by both sides.

They thought in another slave state like political instability in the United States, but they thought that there were more benefits about the war, and Texas was become in the 28° state of the United States and also in another state slave.

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:225

Explanation:

572-347 you cant subtract 7 from 2 so you borrow 10 from the seven in the first number 572 and the 2 becomes a 12 so then 12-7=5, take away 1 from the 7 in 572 and it becomes 562 6-4=2 and then 5-3=2, all together it = 225

Which statement best describes a disadvantage of indirect democracy over direct democracy?
Xelga [282]
Indirect democracy means that people don't vote themselves, but that they choose representatives to vote for them. 

It's typically more efficient than direct democracy, because less people need to directly participate - only the representatives. 

however, the disadvantage is that some people's voices won't be heard - so the correct answer is B, for example when their representatives are not aware of them.
