Answer:

The Correct Answer is C.

Explanation:

  • When America is getting mature, extra states are being added to the United States and the issue of Slavery becomes the major issue.
  • During 1850 the problem of Slavery came through as another issue. California was becoming a state and wanted to be a free state without any slavery.
  • States mainly Southern opposed this because if California becomes a slave-free state then there will be only 12 states left with slaves and there would be 13 slave-free states.
  • This would mean the Free States have the majority than the Slave States.

<span>C. Allowing newly added territories to the United States decide for themselves the slavery issue.

Popular sovereignty was proposed as a way to decide the issue of slavery in the new territories. Under such a system, the local population would decide the slavery issue rather than Congress.

Answer:

Although there is no consensus about the exact span of time that corresponds to the American Enlightenment, it is safe to say that it occurred during the eighteenth century among thinkers in British North America and the early United States and was inspired by the ideas of the British and French Enlightenments.  Based on the metaphor of bringing light to the Dark Age, the Age of the Enlightenment  shifted allegiances away from absolute authority, whether religious or political, to more skeptical and optimistic attitudes about human nature, religion and politics.  In the American context, thinkers such as Thomas Paine, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin invented and adopted revolutionary ideas about scientific rationality, religious toleration and experimental political organization—ideas that would have far-reaching effects on the development of the fledgling nation.  Some coupled science and religion in the notion of deism; others asserted the natural rights of man in the anti-authoritarian doctrine of liberalism; and still others touted the importance of cultivating virtue, enlightened leadership and community in early forms of republican thinking. At least six ideas came to punctuate American Enlightenment thinking: deism, liberalism, republicanism, conservatism, toleration and scientific progress. Many of these were shared with European Enlightenment thinkers, but in some instances took a uniquely American form.
