Answer:

Following a trail blazed by Lewis and Clark, most of these people had left their homes in the East in search of economic opportunity. Like Thomas Jefferson, many of these pioneers associated westward migration, land ownership and farming with freedom. In Europe, large numbers of factory workers formed a dependent and seemingly permanent working class; by contrast, in the United States, the western frontier offered the possibility of independence and upward mobility for all. In 1843, one thousand pioneers took to the Oregon Trail as part of the “Great Emigration.”  Then in 1848 The California Gold Rush was sparked. By the discovery of gold nuggets in the Sacramento Valley, and was arguably one of the most significant events to shape American history during the first half of the 19th century. As news spread of the discovery, thousands of prospective gold miners traveled by sea or over land to San Francisco and the surrounding area; by the end of 1849, the non-native population of the California territory was some 100,000 (compared with the pre-1848 figure of less than 1,000). A total of $2 billion worth of precious metal was extracted from the area during the Gold Rush, which peaked in 1852.   .

Answer:

in State constitutions.

Explanation:

State constitutions are the set of rules and laws that govern the states and counties of the United States.

There is the national constitution, which governs the entire country, and the state constitution, which is prepared by each American state with its own laws and guidelines, but always following the precepts provided for in the national constitution. This document is subject to changes and amendments that guarantee updates to the envisaged laws.

Therefore, any internal government authority will govern a region based on the laws provided for in the national and state constitution.
