History
1 answer:

<em>C. Felt that government was at odds with the concept of liberty. </em>

Explanation:

The phrase "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity" means that they wanted to make the people feel secure in their rights and freedom and realize that this cannot be taken away by the government. Previously before, the government of Great Britain completely used and gave no rights to the colonists, often having "taxation without representation", now with a new Constitution, citizens were scared too much power would go into the government's hands and a repeat of history would happen. Numerous phrases, this being just one, secure the people's freedom and liberty from the government.

Why did the Fugitive Slave Act anger Northerners? a) It contradicted the Missouri Compromise. b) It increased federal interventi
Papessa [141]

The answer is <u>b) It increased federal intervention in the affairs of independent states.</u>

By the time these federal Acts were enacted in the U.S., several Northern states had already abolished slavery but it was legal in the Southern states. The Fugitive Slave Acts of 1793 and 1850 allowed for the capture and return of runaway slaves within the territory of the United States, aiming to prevent that the Northern states would become safe havens for runaway slaves.

The last act was more rigid in their provision and stated more regulation, including the guarantee of harsher punishments for anyone interfering in runaways slave's capture, the right of slave owners and their “agents” to search for escaped slaves within the borders of free states and compelled citizens to assist in their capture as well. It also denied slaves the right to a jury trial, among others.

The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 implied much government's intervention in the state's affairs, and this angered most northern states. They responded by intentionally neglecting the law or creating acts that nullified or that protected black people, the so-called "personal liberty laws", and by making great efforts to assist runaway slaves, among others.
