The correct answer is: A) defined the status of enslaved persons and the rights of their owners.

This laws restricted slaves behaviors, it stablished that slaves were property, not persons. In this way it protected the property (slaves) and the owners of the property. For example, slaves couldn't posses property as they were property themselves, or they couldn't assemble without the presence of a white person.

The codes were created as a result of the slave population growth and the start of numerous rebelions. The owners were scared about their security so they made laws to keep slaves under control.

How did the nullification crisis challenge federal authority over states?
jasenka [17]

Toward the end of his first term in office, Jackson was forced to confront the state of South Carolina on the issue of the protective tariff. Business and farming interests in the state had hoped that Jackson would use his presidential power to modify tariff laws they had long opposed. In their view, all the benefits of protection were going to Northern manufacturers, and while the country as a whole grew richer, South Carolina grew poorer, with its planters bearing the burden of higher prices.

The protective tariff passed by Congress and signed into law by Jackson in 1832 was milder than that of 1828, but it further embittered many in the state. In response, a number of South Carolina citizens endorsed the states' rights principle of "nullification," which was enunciated by John C. Calhoun, Jackson's vice president until 1832, in his South Carolina Exposition and Protest (1828). South Carolina dealt with the tariff by adopting the Ordinance of Nullification, which declared both the tariffs of 1828 and 1832 null and void within state borders. The legislature also passed laws to enforce the ordinance, including authorization for raising a military force and appropriations for arms.

Nullification was only the most recent in a series of state challenges to the authority of the federal government. There had been a continuing contest between the states and the national government over the power of the latter, and over the loyalty of the citizenry, almost since the founding of the republic. The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798, for example, had defied the Alien and Sedition Acts, and in the Hartford Convention, New England voiced its opposition to President Madison and the war against the British.

In response to South Carolina's threat, Jackson sent seven small naval vessels and a man-of-war to Charleston in November 1832. On December 10, he issued a resounding proclamation against the nullifiers. South Carolina, the president declared, stood on "the brink of insurrection and treason," and he appealed to the people of the state to reassert their allegiance to that Union for which their ancestors had fought.

When the question of tariff duties again came before Congress, it soon became clear that only one man, Senator Henry Clay, the great advocate of protection (and a political rival of Jackson), could pilot a compromise measure through Congress. Clay's tariff bill -- quickly passed in 1833 -- specified that all duties in excess of 20 percent of the value of the goods imported were to be reduced by easy stages, so that by 1842, the duties on all articles would reach the level of the moderate tariff of 1816.

Nullification leaders in South Carolina had expected the support of other Southern states, but without exception, the rest of the South declared South Carolina's course unwise and unconstitutional. Eventually, South Carolina rescinded its action. Both sides, nevertheless, claimed victory. Jackson had committed the federal government to the principle of Union supremacy. But South Carolina, by its show of resistance, had obtained many of the demands it sought, and had demonstrated that a single state could force its will on Congress.

For much of the Middle Ages, both popes and kings claimed the authority to appoint high church officials. In 1076, Pope Gregory
Art [367]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Henry IV appeared before Pope Gregory VII to ask for his forgiveness.

Explanation:

In the 10th century, the emperor had gradually acquired a say in the appointment of bishops in the Holy Roman Empire. This was not very surprising, because the emperor often entrusted lordship, political and even military tasks to the bishops.

The battle really broke out in 1075 between Emperor Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII. On the one hand, the Pope interfered in the Saxon wars, undermining royal authority, and on the other, the appointment of a bishop of Milan by Henry IV was the last straw.

The king organized a meeting of bishops at which Pope Gregory VII was deposed. In response, Gregory excommunicated the king, as well as his allies. This put Henry in a difficult position, because a number of German bishops turned against him and some princes threatened to do the same. Henry then made a penance to Canossa in 1077, where he showed himself willing to submit to the Pope, who finally pardoned him.
