Stephen Douglas’s proposed Kansas-Nebraska Act: Group of answer choices

Answer:

Stephen Douglas' proposed Kansas-Nebraska Act might allow slavery in Kansas and Nebraska, and would promote construction of a transcontinental rail line along a southern route.

Explanation:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was a law passed in the United States in 1854 that allowed the Kansas and Nebraska territories to enter the Union as states. The bill, initiated by Stephen Douglas, a pro-slavery Democratic Party, was approved with the support of President Franklin Pierce. The change opened the Kansas and Nebraska areas to settlers and allowed the construction of railways in the area. At the same time, the attitude of the new territories to slavery was left to the people of the area to decide, which overturned the former Missouri Compromise of 1820.  

The decision to submit the issue of slavery to the people of the area eventually became fatal. When opponents and supporters of slavery rushed to the area only to vote on slavery, the situation became violent. Armed groups assembled by slavery supporters and opponents terrorized the area for four months before federal troops arrived in the area.

Politically, the law was a huge loss for Douglas and President Franklin Pierce, who supported him. Abraham Lincoln, the future president of the United States, who opposed slavery, was successful in using the law to his advantage.

What problems arose among the pharisees in regulating the sabbath observance?
Maslowich
The Pharisees' legalistic approach led them to creating an ever-more complex system of rules, and their extra-dutiful observance of law focused on external obedience to rules more than internal attitudes of the heart.

Jewish rabbinical tradition counted 613 commands stipulated in the Law given to Israel by Moses.  For the Pharisees (meaning "those who are set apart"), that wasn't enough.  They sought to set themselves apart from the common man by the way they applied the Law to every detail of their lives, making their own specific rules for specific situations.  So as new situations arose, new religious rules were imposed.  The Pharisees' body of law was something like the US tax code in that way!  They gave particular focus to all the ways that one should obey the rule of resting on the Sabbath.

In the process, the Pharisees also paid primary attention to outward adherence to rules.  The spirit of the Law as originally given was aimed at conforming persons' hearts to the ways of God.  But following the laws of the Pharisees became more focused on maintaining outward consistency with the rituals and regulations they had established.  In regard to the Sabbath, the original intent was so that people would stop other activities in order to give full attention to God and his Word.  For the Pharisees, the focus of the Sabbath became more about regulating how much activity was considered allowable or not in different situations.

Charra [1.4K]
B - the Church rejected them as heresy. 

The works of Greek thinkers were not in line with the dogma of the Church. For that reason they rejected what the Greek thinkers of their time did and called every work which they did heresy not to be read.
