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.

Identify the sentence using the active voice. A. The truck driver was given a ticket by the police officer. B. The truck driver
Serhud [2]

Answer:

C. The police officer gave a ticket to the truck driver.

Explanation:

The subject police is doing the verb - "gave" to the truck driver. And the use of "by" towards the end of the sentence is not valid in active voice. The subject-verb relationship changes in the passive voice. So, while the other three options (A, B and D) all put the subject "police officer" at the end of the sentence, that means it is already in the passive voice, added with the use of "by" in these sentences. So, the correct sentence that is in the active voice is option C.

300 word essay about the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The beginning of Act 2, Scene 2, is set in the Capulet's orchard where Romeo has escaped from his friends after the Capulet party in hopes of seeing Juliet. While he is hidden in the orchard, Juliet comes to the balcony and, thinking she is alone, professes her love to Romeo.The balcony scene is sooo romantic in a way that it does influence the audience in a way of telling them about the passionate Romeo and Juliet.Romeo and Juliet are so passionate, the way that they have just left everything/everyone behind and gone for their love. It tells the audience that something is impetuous there. Like they really wanted to express there feelings for each other . But they are confused on there relationship because they are on different color teamsIt's sneaky. Romeo trips upon Juliet talking about how she feels about Romeo and then he gets nervous: Shall I hear more or shall I speak at this? Once he reveals his location, they are in it together. About 5 times, Juliet shares her fear of Romeo getting caught for being there; no doubt she's concerned for her association with him as well. Of course love is the central agenda of their discussion, but the growing secrecy and sneakiness evolve as she hears the nurse calling and as they make a plan for when they are going to see each other again.When Romeo sees Juliet at her window he falls in love with her enchanting beauty. The scene takes place in the dark night. Romeo says the words in praise of Juliet. He says that Juliet's beauty is like a bright sun which has the power to transform the darkness of the night into daylight. He personifies the moon to be “sick and pale with grief” because of the brightness of Juliet as a sun. The motif of light and dark is prevalent throughout the play. The balcony scene shows the tragic flaw between the two lovers Romeo and Juliet. This influences or shows how the young lover’s death are lead up to. How there deaths came to be.
