Answer:

<h2>The Wilmot Proviso stated that slavery should be prohibited in territories acquired after the Mexican-American War.</h2>

Explanation:

In 1846, Congressman David Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced the proviso as an amendment to an appropriations bill in connection with the peace treaty being negotiated with Mexico.  His amendment stipulated that any territory gained from Mexico would be free, not allowing slavery.  Wilmot's amendment passed in the House of Representatives, but was unable to get approval in the Senate.

Wilmot's reason for his proposal was not because he was defending the cause of blacks or seeking to outlaw slavery. In a speech he delivered in the House of Representatives in 1847, Wilmot said: "I make no war upon the South nor upon slavery in the South. I have no squeamish sensitiveness upon the subject of slavery, nor morbid sympathy for the slave. I plead the cause of the rights of white freemen. I would preserve for free white labor a fair country, a rich inheritance, where the sons of toil, of my own race and own color, can live without the disgrace which association with Negro slavery brings upon free labor."

Briefly explain one difference in the practice of real politik by Louis Napoleon and Otto van Bismarck
Butoxors [25]

Louis Napoleon Bonaparte's seizure of power was the product of just another coup de etat. One of his guiding principles is found in his deep belief in the power of the middle class and its nationalist connotations with some similarities to the social policies of Bismarck.

Louis was mainly supported by the low classes, the peasants, He used his mandate to abolish the recently created representative assembly, in order to marginalize the liberal factions, finally becoming himself a new emperor in the second middle of the IX th century. Shortly after being in power he restored universal suffrage.

On the other hand: Bismarck’s realpolitik policies were employed in response to the failed revolutions of 1848 as a way of strengthening the state system and tighten social order. As the most famous advocate of Realpolitik,  Otto became the first Chancellor, serving in the Kingdom of Prussia. The use of Realpolitik had him achieve Prussian dominance in Germany. Manipulating political issues causing antagonism in other countries and causing or engaging in wars if necessary, "the end justified the means".
