Why was an amendment to abolish slavery not ratified?

Social Studies
1 answer:
beks73 [17]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer: </u>

The amendment to abolish slavery was not ratified for a long time because, in order to amend the Constitution, three-fourths of the states had to approve the amendment, and only fifty percent approved the amendment.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The states that roughly made up the northern half of the United States were mainly against the practice of slavery and wanted it to be abolished for once and forever.
  • On the other hand, the economy of the states in the southern United States depended on the production of cotton which was mainly carried out through slaves.
  • Hence, the states in the south continuously opposed the abolition of slavery and that alone became the reason to not secure the support of three-fourths of the states.

Answer: This is an example of problem-focused behavior coping.

Explanation: When a problem arises in day-to-day life, irrespective of at work or at home, the behavior tends to change and may bring prolonged sadness. To cope up with this behavior knowing full well that it may cause loss, the problem, not the feelings, needs to be focused in order to find out solid solutions to it. This approach is thus called a problem-focused behavior coping approach.

Which point best highlights why the US government has limited power?
Alisiya [41]
  US government has a limited power because it cannot do certain things, and specifically it is not allowed to breach certain individual freedoms: so it can be said that the motivation for a limited government is to protect individual freedoms.

See for example the text of the first amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" - this limits the power of the government so that people have a freedom to practice their religion.

Not one, but both, of daniel's parents have schizophrenia. what is the approximate lifetime risk that daniel himself will develo
prisoha [69]
<span>It has been said that certain genes often skip a generation. So, if your parents have a particular abnormality a child might not necessarily get the same abnormality. In the case of schizophrenia I cannot imagine that two schizophrenics would even take a chance of having children. Even if they are on medication it does not mean that their life can be even close to normal. After all, they have to take very goodo care of themselves and also their child. Schizophrenia often does not show up until a person hits the approximate age of 20. There is also a factor of something actually triggering the schizophrenia. Going back to my first sentence I can only hope, for Daniel's sake that he does not develop this mental illness.</span>
