Answer: B. the spread of slavery into the West.
Explanation:
It was an established fact in the years leading up to the Civil War that the South was pro-slavery and the North was Anti-slavery and so both sides had arguments about the spread of slavery into the western territories as those territories gained statehood.
The South wanted slavery to spread into the territories so that they would have more states which would give slavery more representation in Congress and therefore keep the practice going. The North wanted the territories to be free for the same reason.

After being held up in the courts for more than a year, President Barack Obama’s signature immigration executive actions that proposed expanding his deferred action policies to allow individuals residing in the country illegally the opportunity to avoid deportation and obtain work permits and driver’s licenses were blocked from being implemented in a 4-4 ruling delivered by the United States Supreme Court on June 23, 2016.[1]
Without a ninth justice, due to the vacancy left on the court by former Justice Antonin Scalia's unexpected death, the Supreme Court was unable to rule on the case. The 4-4 split decision upheld the lower court's ruling, which blocked the new and expanded immigration policies from going into effect. President Obama blamed the court's inability to issue a ruling on Republican senators who have declined to hold a confirmation hearing on his Supreme Court nominee Judge Merrick Garland.[2]
