What was the solution to the debate over the slave status of new territories in the Kansas-Nebraska Act?

English

Answer: Popular Sovereignty

Explanation:

Prior to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the slave status of a new territory would be decided by the Missouri Compromise which based the state's slave status on geographical location as it prohibited slavery in states to the North of the 36°30′ parallel (excluding Missouri).

In 1854 however, a bill that would later be known as the Kansas-Nebraska Act was introduced to Congress by Sen. Stephen A. Douglas who hoped to gain support from Southern politicians for a state to be established on land gained from the Louisiana purchase.

The bill called for the status of a state to be decided by Popular Sovereignty which essentially meant that the people of the state would decide whether or not they wanted to be a free state instead of Congress as had previously been the case.

With this act therefore, the new territories would decide their status by themselves.

Grace [21]
Alright reading the poem "Its is a Beauteous Evening, Calm and Free" by Wordsworth, we can conclude the rhyme scheme in the following way.
It's important to recognize that "thought" and "not" rhyme, as that is a common mistake made within this text.
 We can determine rhyme scheme by looking at the last word in the line. If they rhyme then they are the same letter, if not we add a new letter.
So doing so we can get:
Rhyme Scheme: 
Line 1 - a
Line 2 - b
Line 3 - b
Line 4 - a
Line 5 - a
Line 6 - c
Line 7 - c
Line 8 - a
Line 9 - d
Line 10 - e
Line 12 - f
Line 13 - d
Line 14 - f
Line 13 - e

The sentence or option that best paraphrases Truth's Claim is: "Since women are as accountable for what they do as men are, they deserve the same rights." (Option C)

<h3>What is a claim?</h3>

The statement made by the writer that asserts an idea or logical position as the truth or absolute condition is referred to as a claim.

In some cases, there are multiple claims, in other cases, there are other claims.

Hence, it is correct to state that the right answer is option C. That is, if a woman must account for her actions, just like men do, then she should have equal rights with him.
