Answer:

The former State Department employee that was accused of passing top-secret papers to the Soviets was Alger Hiss.

Explanation:

Alger Hiss worked in the administrations of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry Truman. He was accused by the House Un-American Activities Committee  of having been a communist. He denied under oath, but was convicted of perjury thanks to the convincing testimony of Whittaker Chambers, his old party mate. From many subsequent research it appears that Hiss, in addition to being a communist, was also in all probability a Soviet spy.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

“You are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by all, shown to be a letter of Christ... written not in ink but by the Spirit of the living God." (2 Corinthians 3:2-3) means:

The saints who are now transformed by the Spirit of God, the product and result of the gospel the apostles preached and have become dear and recommendable by the apostles are now the Bible(epistle) that people see and read.

3. The preachers that brought the transformation - the apostles

4. The product (result) of their transformation - they became epistles read by all

Explain how the fugitive slave act violated the core principles of american democracy
larisa [96]

The origins of these acts go back to the constitution where the article 4 has a clause called the fugitive slave clause which orders states to deliver up fugitives from labor (euphemism for runaway slaves) when they are requested by slaveholders.

This clause was translated into the first 1793 statute which was basically a civil statute that was not well enforced according to the southern states, thus leading to the creation of the 1850 fugitive slave act.

The 1850 act was tougher than the previous one, punishing not only runaway slaves, but also people who harbored or aided slaves in any way, with civil and criminal penalties including up to 6 months imprisonment if caught and prosecuted successfully.

There were many documented cases of people being tortured and imprisoned in south because of helping fugitives.

These acts directly violated the democracy in several ways for example:

  • Slavery had been abolished in many states of the US by the time these acts were created
  • They were considered by many as some species of legalized kidnapping
  • They encouraged illegal abduction or arrest and sale into slavery of free black men and women denying them the fair right to trial

One clear example would be the movie "Twelve years a slave" which depicts the documented case of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was sold as a slave without proof of him being one.
