On this date in 1821, Missouri entered the Union as the 24th state. It was the first one located entirely west of the Mississippi River.
By 1818, the Missouri Territory, part of the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, had gained enough settlers to qualify for statehood. Its settlers, however, had come mostly from the South and expected it would be a slave state. When a Missouri statehood bill came before the House, Rep. James Tallmadge of New York proposed amending the measure to bar bringing slaves into the new state and providing for the ultimate emancipation of all slaves born in Missouri. The House approved that approach in 1819. But the Senate refused to go along.
In early 1820, a bill to admit Maine passed the House. Alabama had come into the Union as a slave state in 1819. With Alabama's admission, there were an equal number of senators from free and slave states in that body. Since Maine would come in as a free state, proponents of admitting Missouri as a slave state argued that equality would be retained at 12 each by pairing the two.
The Senate then voted to bar slavery in the rest of the Louisiana Purchase north of the southern boundary of Missouri ? except in Missouri. Although the House rejected this compromise, conferees agreed that Missourians could adopt a constitution that permitted slavery.
But the House rebelled anew when a drafted state constitution barred bringing any free blacks into Missouri. The territorial legislature backed down and pledged that nothing in its constitution could be interpreted as abridging the rights of U.S. citizens. (Slaves were not citizens.) That deal held until 1854, when the Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise. In 1861, when other slave states seceded to trigger the Civil War, Missouri chose to remain in the Union.
Answer:
The American Revolution produced a new outlook among its people that would have ramifications long into the future. Groups excluded from immediate equality such as slaves and women would draw their later inspirations from revolutionary sentiments. Americans began to feel that their fight for liberty was a global fight.

I don’t understand what you are saying
A presidential government is based on the relationship between the legislative power and the executive.
The presidential system or presidential system is a form of government in which, once a Republic is constituted, the Constitution establishes a division of powers between the executive power, the legislative power, the judiciary, and the head of state, in addition to holding representation formally of the country, is also an active part of the executive power, as Head of Government, thus exercising a dual function, because he has the powers of the Government, being elected directly by the voters and not by Congress or Parliament.
The president is the body that holds the executive power, while the legislative power usually concentrates the congress, without prejudice to the powers that the president has in legislative matters.
The 25th amendment of the United States constitution states the rules the President and Vice President must follow in case one or both of them leave the position open. The president is the one responsible in appointing the replacement to the vice president. In the case of impeachment of the president, he is required to leave the office. Answer in 2 is True.
