Answer:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was an 1854 bill that mandated “popular sovereignty”–allowing settlers of a territory to decide whether slavery would be allowed within a new state’s borders. Proposed by Stephen A. Douglas–Abraham Lincoln’s opponent in the influential Lincoln-Douglas debates–the bill overturned the Missouri Compromise’s use of latitude as the boundary between slave and free territory. The conflicts that arose between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers in the aftermath of the act’s passage led to the period of violence known as Bleeding Kansas, and helped pave the way for the American Civil War (1861-65).

This 1854 bill to organize western territories became part of the political whirlwind of sectionalism and railroad building, splitting two major political parties and helping to create another, as well as worsening North-South relations

By the Treaty of Paris (signed Dec. 10, 1898), Spain renounced all claim to Cuba, ceded Guam and Puerto Rico to the United States, and transferred sovereignty over the Philippines to the United States for $20,000,000. The Spanish-American War was an important turning point in the history of both antagonists.

How was ratification of the new constitution made easier?
AURORKA [14]

The correct answer is D.by highlighting the shortcomings of the Articles of Confederation

The Articles of Confederation had several weaknesses that made it an ineffective form of government. One of these weaknesses is a weak central government. The central (aka federal) government could not collect taxes, force states to follow federals laws, and struggled to develop an army.

Highlighting these types of weaknesses at the Constitutional Convention solidified the idea that a completely new constitution needed to be developed for America.
