Answer:

 These reform movements sought to promote basic changes in American society, including the abolition of slavery, education reform, prison reform, women's rights, and temperance (opposition to alcohol). 

Explanation:

  • The abolition of slavery was one of the most powerful reform movements. Quakers and many churches in New England saw slavery as an evil that must be abolished from society. They targeted slave owners who profited off of enslaved people's labor. Harriot Tubman, who helped people escape, and Frederick Douglass, a self-educated and forceful orator and writer, proved be powerful speakers. Abolitionists came to the defense of African Americans accused of running from their masters when law officials threatened to return them. Abolitionism was anathema to Southerners and not popular in many areas of the North, but they moved slavery to a central focus in American political life.

  • Alcohol ruined families and bred crime, especially in the growing urban centers of the East. Drinking was sinful, and it was the government's responsibility to remove this temptation, in the view of the temperance advocates. They ran candidates on the Prohibition Party in elections, who were rarely successful, and pressured elected officials to make the manufacture and sale of alcohol illegal

  • Other reforms attracted similar attention, though never to the degree of prohibition and abolition. Some groups advocated for better treatment of the insane and more humane prisons. Advocates for women's rights used tactics similar to the prohibition and abolition movements to demand the right to vote. In fact, many of the same people participated in several reform causes.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

1. Federal Government

2. More power for the States

Explanation:

During the formation of the Constitution in the United States known as the Constitutional Convention, it was revealed that the North generally supported the idea of a stronger FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

The south, on the other hand, feared Constant interference from the north and wanted "More power for the States."

This is based on the idea that the political elites of the North do not favor slavery which is based on the fact that their economic growth is not based on the exploitation of slavery.

However, the political elites of the South favor slavery simply because their Agricultural based economy thrives best on the exploitation of slavery.
