The correct answer is D) Compromise.

Congress was constantly trying to find ways to "solve" the issue of slavery in American society. It first started with the Missouri Compromise. This established that the institution of slavery would not exist north of the 36'30 for any new states added during the era of westward expansion. However, this would not last forever as the adding of California after the Mexican-American War became a problem. This is because the 36'30 cut the state into two parts and the US did not want a half free half slave state.

This resulted in the creation of the Compromise of 1850. However, this law would not solve the issue of slavery. Rather, it just pushed the problem further down the road.

Of all known creatures, man is truly unique and special due to the following attributes.

1. The human brain has qualities that have no parallel in the animal world. The evidence of this is man's outstanding mental capabilities.

2. Man is the only creature that is fully bi-pedal. He can walk upright due to the special structure of his spine and therefore his hands are not necessarily required for locomotion but are free to carry out other purposes.

3. Man is the only creature that possesses the faculty of speech. His creative communication by means of his vocal system is utterly different from those that other animals have.

4. Man is the only creature that can outstandingly express emotion. Some of the animals seem to be able to do the same but they can only do so to a very minimal degree as compared with man.

System of social classes arose in india with the arrival of the

kari74 [83]

The system of social classes arose in India with the arrival of the Aryans. The term 'Aryan' was derived from a Sanskrit word which means 'noble'. Thus, they referred to themselves as those belonging to the more superior race. They were fair-skinned as they came from the northern region. They took control of the region, disregarding the culture of the natives. The social classes were the Kshatriyas or warriors, Brahmans or priests, Vaishyas or farmers and craftsmen, and the Sudra Varnas or the simple workers in the society. They was a struggle for power between the Kshatriyas and the Brahmans, but in the end, the Brahmans became the powerful leaders of the society they built.
