Why do cities adopt home rule

History

Answer:

With Home Rule, municipalities take themselves out from under Dillon’s Rule – the prevailing legal doctrine which states that municipalities only have the powers given to them explicitly by the state – and instead allows them to create a form and structure of governance of their choosing, so long as they do not conflict with state or federal law. In the State of Washington, for example, where we launched the Envision Spokane project, Home Rule municipalities have the ability to establish local laws that may be stricter than state law, unless the state expressly prohibits this. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we consulted with the elected Government Study Commission, which produced the first community rights-based municipal Home Rule Charter for Blaine Township.

Can you compare the sale of slaves to something today? How does this make you feel? Explain.
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

I can compare slavery to debt bondage, which is where one must work tediously in exchange for a debt to be relieved. This makes me upset and anxious because slavery was supposed to be abolished long ago, but it is still present today.

The Enlighment movement emerged in Europe during the 18th century  and it was constituted by philosophers that promoted Reason and the scientific method over medieval superstition and religious dogmas, and the establishment of democratic societies where the power resided on its people, and not in monarchs or rulers "appointed by God". The resulting states that emerged based on the principles of this movement, enacted bills of civil rights for the first time in history, and implemented principles such as the division of powers or the social contract, through which citizens elected their governors by suffrage.

Such Enlightment principles were transferred to the American colonies, where the population claimed for political representation rather than being governed by foreigners that were appointed by a foreign king. Such claims were ignored and the colonies, influenced by the new democratic principles, started several revolutionary movements for independence aiming to establish new states based on the Enlightment principles such as in Europe.

1.the answer is a because the south grows better crops                                       2. The Wilmot Proviso was a more-or-less religious declaration that slavery wouldnot be permitted in any of the new territories that were likely to be admittedto the USA. This would increase Northern dominance of Congress, and enable moreraising of taxes on imports - the big controversy in the South, which had nomanufacturing industry, and depended largely on imported goods3. I'm not sure for this one sorry                                                                          4. Because
it allowed citizens to decide whether they had slaves or not: the law
passed in the United States, in 1854, was enacted to create the states
of Nebraska and Kansas, which, in addition, were forbidden to have legal
slaves by the Missouri Compromise of 1820, thus,
with the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Missouri Compromise was annulled,
without achieving that Kansas attained a legal slave state, allowed the
citizens of the newly formed states, to have votes to decide whether
slavery was allowed or not. The Kansas-Nebraska Act was the precursor to the Civil War of 1861.
