Prospect to the South that slavery would not be confined to a limited section of the country and thus a limited political power. To the North, it offered a seemingly principled way out of the political crisis short of abolition or secession.
<span>Popular sovereignty had the opposite effect: it polarized political opinion even more. </span>
Popular sovereignty in practice touched off something very close to a civil war in Kansas as pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions organized their own state constitutional conventions and led to wave of bushwhacking and political murders. Both North and South were surprised at the lengths the other would go to.
<span>The Dred Scott decision then repudiated Congress's right to decide the question of slavery in the territories and asserted that slavery ownership was only a property right that Congress had no right to interfere with in the territories. </span>
The Dred Scott decision seemed to killed the notion of popular sovereignty but the Supreme Court's logic was obvious. It was only a matter of time before the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that Congress or the states had no right to restrict slavery anywhere, including free states.
To the South, popular sovereignty was suspect because it was championed by a Northerner and so must be some clever stratagem to limit and extinguish slavery.
To the North, in spite of 60 years of political compromise designed to limit the practice of slavery, it looked set to spread not only through the western territories but into free states as well and there would be no legislative means to prevent it, much of credit being due to Stephen Douglas.

The Synder Act of 1924 admitted Native Americans born in the U.S. to full U.S. citizenship.

The lives of the indigenous people of Brazil, the region of the Americas where the Portuguese landed, changed radically after this event.
Explanation:
For one, the vast majority of them perished (around 90%) due to the spread of contagious Eurasian diseases like measles or viruela, for which they did not have immunity.
The few who survived were subjected to slavery at first, and when the Catholic Church prohibited the enslavement of Native Americans, to serfdom, and brutal working conditions.
They were also stripped of their lands and property, and were given very few opportunities to climb up the social ladder in the colonial Brazilian society.
I believe it is the fifth amendment
Answer:
Radioactive energy.
Explanation:
Earth keeps a nearly steady temperature, because it makes heat in its interior. .l
The process by which Earth makes heat is called radioactive decay. It involves the disintegration of natural radioactive elements inside Earth – like uranium, for example.
Sources of this radioactive energy from the earth
1. the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust, and the
2 . primordial heat left over from the formation of Earth.
Earth's internal heat powers most geological processes and drives plate tectonics.
