The fugitive slave law was meant to return slaves, who had escaped to the "free" North, back to the South. It was a compromise set up by previous agreement made most recently in 1850. The 1850 agreement was an attempt to amend slave laws, but still allow for slavery in the South, while allowing the country to further expand to the West. The North resented the law, because it denied slaves the freedom embodied in the North. The South resented it, because they saw it as their right to own slaves per the 1850, regardless of where the slaves were in the U.S. The slaves were deemed extremely necessary because of the requirement of slave labor in the vast agricultural networks in the South.

1. Describe federalism in your own words using evidence from Document 2 to support your description. (4 Points)

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Federalism is mainly understood to be an organizational principle in which the individual members (member states) have a limited independence and statehood, but are united to a sovereign overarching federal state.

A federal state consists of sub-states that exercise certain (limited) competences under constitutional law that are not derived from the federal government as a whole. In addition to the state as a whole, the member states of a federal state therefore have their own, original autonomy over the population in their territory in terms of constitutional law.
