A representative democracy would involve Representatives, who were elected by citizens, deciding laws
The Compromise of 1850 was proposed by Henry Clay inresponse to the issues of slavery. When gold was discovered inCalifornia, Congress had the face the issue of new territoriesstatehood and whether or not they would allow slavery in them.Before the Compromise, president Zachary Taylor announceintentions of making California and New Mexico states rightaway and allowing them to decide whether or not they would beslave states. This sparked anger from the South since they felt itthreated the balance of power in Congress (Keene et al., 2013).The main provisions were that California be entered in as a freestate to and the New Mexico would be divided into two territoriesand popular sovereignty would then decide whether it wouldallow slavery or not. The Compromise also had the governmentassume Texas's debt and settled the boarder dispute betweenTexas and New Mexico. The slave trade was also abolished inWashington DC (Keene et al., 2013).

I believe the correct answer is D. the Proclamation of 1763.
This proclamation was issued by the British king and said that the Americans who fought for Britain against France would get nothing for their sacrifices in the war. This heightened the tensions because the relationship between two sides was already weak, and it grew even worse at this point.
