Answer:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was the law promulgated in the United States, in 1854, for the creation of the states of Nebraska and Kansas, in territories of the old French Louisiana, but in which remained some tribes of Natives. It was driven by the senator and leader of the Democratic party Stephen Arnold Douglas, of Illinois.

The situation of the two states north of the line defined in the Missouri Compromise meant that both should be states in which slavery was not allowed. However, the contiguity of Kansas with the slave state of Missouri and the search by Senator Douglas for southern support for a railroad in his state caused the law to include the provision that, in order to decide on the issue of slaves, citizens could exercise "popular sovereignty" and, therefore, be able to decide whether to be a slave state or not.

The discussion of the law and subsequent voting provoked strong conflicts between anti-slavery and pro-slavery, especially in Kansas, and the disappearance of the Whig party (divided between supporters of the Law in the south and opponents to it in the north), and the creation of the Republican party. To the new party were incorporated, in addition to the most determined anti-slavery, those who opposed the expansion of slavery, although accepting it in a certain way, limiting its existence to the states where it already existed. That position against slavery, although not abolitionist, allowed the Republican party to be the dominant force in the north, and not lose all the southern vote, and that its candidate, Abraham Lincoln, won the presidential election in 1860.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act effectively nullified the Missouri Compromise of 1820, and although it failed to make Kansas a state with legal slave labor, it further opened up the divisions of the nation that led to the Civil War in 1861.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Explanation:

September 8, 1974, president of the United States of America, Gerald Ford pardon Richard Nixon, his predecessor who was the former president of the United States of America.

Richard Nixon who was involved in the Watergate scandal, which lead to his resignation, receive pardon from the Ford Administration. Nixon during his administration has tried to steal information from the congress at Watergate concerning the Democratic party who were his opposition.

President Ford felt the pardon was in the best interests of the country and that if he did not pardon Nixon, a long, drawn-out trial against Nixon would only have further polarized the public.

Many believe Ford's decision lead to his failure to win the presidential election of 1976 to Jimmy Carter.

The Constitution spells out_______ -those powers that belong to the federal government alone. What goes in the blank??
svlad2 [7]
<h2>"Expressed powers" or "enumerated powers."</h2>

Enumerated powers are those powers specifically granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution.

Enumerated powers include such things as the power to coin/print money, the power to establish and impose tariffs, and the power to regulated trade with foreign nations and trade/commerce between states.

Strict constructionists and loose constructionists differ over whether the government's powers should be limited to those specifically enumerated powers.  Strict constructionists read the Constitution as giving the federal government only those specifically delegated powers.  Loose constructionists argue that anything not specifically forbidden by the constitution can be within the window of what the government needs to do in adapting to the needs of time and circumstances.
