What happened in Kansas around the election of 1855

History

8 0

Answer:

I don't know if this is what you're looking for but during this time the North and the South we're in a bloodless battle against each other. the South wanted Kansas to be a slave state (the Kansas-Nebraska act led them to believe that) and the North wanted it to be a free state. so In 1855 when it was time to elect members of the legislature Southerners from Missouri poured into Kansas and voted early and often so Kansas leaned pro-slavery. the slave supporters then created their own government at Shawnee mission but since the free-soilers (abolitionists) couldn't except this they establish their own legislature in Topeka. so kansans had to choose between two governments one that was based on fraud and the other one that was based on the illegality

lol I'm sorry if that's confusing

Briefly answer the following questions about the Magna Carta.
Korolek [52]

Magna Carta was originally created because of disagreements between Pope Innocent III, King John and his English barons about the rights of the King. The Magna Carta made the king denounced some of his rights , and made him realize he was not above the law. It also made him respect certain legal procedures , and realize his will was bound by law.

basically the magna carta was to secure the rights of the English aristocracy because they felt the king had usurped too much of their power. The magna carta actually went through quite a few different versions as kings would gradually ignore it then have to restate it at least in part to keep the nobility from revolting.
It did secure some freedoms such as rights of widows and wards, but its main focus was on the barons and their rights to hold courts and to approve of things going on in the kingdom such as taxes before the king could levy them.

 The magan Carta was the cornerstone for the future British Constitution. Many later attempts to draft constitutional forms of government, including the United States Constitution, trace their lineage back to the Magna Carta
