History

The correct answer is California’s entrance as a free state would upset the legislative balance in favor of the North.

When California applied for statehood, there was a balance of voters in Congress made up of two groups: one group who was in favor of the expansion of the institution of slavery and another group against the expansion of slavery.

To keep these groups from fighting, many different compromises were made throughout the 1800's in order to help keep the peace. An example of this would be the Compromise of 1850. In this compromise, California is admitted as a free state. However,the Southern states get a stronger fugitive slave law in return. This fighting over a balance of power between slave states and non slave states was one of the most significant causes of the American Civil War.

To which side of the immigration debate does the following argument apply? The United States has an obligation to help relatives
Katyanochek1 [597]

The correct answer is Open Boarders

Explanation:

In a debate, there are two or more positions about a specific situation or issue. Additionally, each of these positions is supported by participants using arguments that can include facts, statistics, citations, among others. In the case of the immigration debate, one of the sides or positions is that immigrants should not be restricted from entering the country and therefore immigration should be considered as negative. Supporters of this side propose migration can help the economy of the country, promotes inequality, and can reunite families. Therefore, the opinion the government should promote family reunification as part of immigration is part of the Open Borders side that promotes reducing or ending for immigrants.
