<span>Certainly not. The United States has never, since its founding, consisted of a small number of citizens, still less of citizens that could practically assemble in one place at one time and debate their actions. A pure democracy in this classical Greek city-state sense was never practical, and was not seriously considered.
What the Framers created was a constitutional representative republic. Sovereignty is vested in the people, like a democracy (and unlike a constitutional monarchy), but the people do not rule directly. Instead, they elect representatives, at regular intervals, and these rule in the peoples' stead. Their powers are limited, first, by the fact that they are elected for only short terms, and must be re-elected if they wish to continue in power, and secondly, and much more importantly, by the Constitution itself, which puts express written limits on their powers even between elections.</span>

Correct answers that were part of ancient Egyptian civilization are: B. civilization called "the gift of the Nile". C. a form of picture writing called hieroglyphics.

Answer:
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, enacted as part of the Compromise of 1850 between the southern slave states and the northern abolitionist states, implied that the rules of persecution and capture of escaped slaves from states south of the Mason-Dixon line would be tightened. Thus, the states to the north of said line should collaborate with the apprehension of these slaves and return them to the south, despite the fact that slavery in their territories was illegal.
These new directives caused enormous rejection in the north, where abolitionist groups were forced to collaborate with a system that they considered unjust, immoral and inhuman. Therefore, numerous protests and demonstrations were held against this law, as well as calls for civil disobedience and even the formation of clandestine groups to help fugitive slaves, such as the Underground Railroad.
