Answer:

The proposal of Pennsylvania congressman David Wilmot aimed at avoiding slavery in the lands gained after the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), fearing the addition of more pro-slavery territory. The proposal was neutralized in the South-dominated Congress, but it encouraged fierce debates on slavery, and ultimately, led to the creation of the Republican Party.

Describe the movement of the American people from the early years of the nation to the president

olchik [2.2K]

John Jay's involvement in the 1st/First Continental Congress drew him into a full-time public service. He was elected as president of the Second Continental Congress on 12/10/1778. Along with John was Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, he successfully negotiated the terms of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. He was convinced that the Articles of Confederation didn't provide a strong enough central government. He wrote down five Federalist Papers in support of the new Constitution. President George Washington named him to be the first Chief of Justice in the Supreme Court. Washington then asked him in 1794 to negotiate a treaty with the Great Britain that recognized the U.S. neutrality rights. His success was limited/slim. With the treaty, he returned with bought/extra time to help avoid a war, but it didn't contain the British's acceptance of the American's neutrality rights or to at least halt the impressment of American seamen. He also resigned as the Chief of Justice in 1795 to become the Governor of NY/New York. I hope this help's you out. Good luck and I'm sorry if it's wrong.
