Answer: Parallax

Explanation: Parallax is usually an error which should be avoided when taking measurements. It is the observed difference in the apparent position of an object when viewed from different positions. Motion parallax is the change in the position of an object due to the viewer's movement. In motion parallax, the object distance to the observer's eye seems to affect the relative motion of the object. That is objects close by or near the observer's eye such as mile markers seems to rush or whiz past relative to the observer's direction while distant objects such as hills and mountain tops moves relatively slowly in the opposite direction.

Who wrote the Kansas-Nebraska Act?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:   Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois and President Franklin Pierce.

Context/details:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act enacted by Congress in 1854. It granted popular sovereignty to the people in the Kansas and Nebraska territories, letting them decide whether they'd allow slavery.  In essence, this made the Kansas-Nebraska act a repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had said there would be no slavery north of latitude 36°30´ except for Missouri.

After the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into Kansas to try to sway the outcome of the issue, and violence between the two sides occurred.  The term "bleeding Kansas" was used because of the bloodshed.
