The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the options for this question.

However, trying to help you we can comment on the following.

The statement that best explains how the Compromise of 1850 attempted to resolve debates over the expansion of slavery is "The compromise allowed California to join the United States as a free state but would allow slavery in southwestern territories."

Under the compromise of 1850, the territories that we're able to choose by popular sovereignty whether or not to allow slavery were New Mexico and Utah.

The United States had defeated the Mexican Army in the Mexican-American War that started in 1846 and ended in 1848. With the victory, the United States got new big portions of land that belonged to México. But many disputes started in the US about the issue of slavery in the territories. That is why under the Compromise of 1850, the government allowed New Mexico and Utah to decide whether or not to allow slavery, while California entered the Union as a free state.

How did the Supreme Court rule in cases involving the free exercise clauses cases

Kazeer [188]

Answer: The Free Exercise Clause accompanies the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Free exercise is the liberty of persons to reach, hold, practice and change beliefs freely according to the dictates of conscience. The Free Exercise Clause prohibits government interference with religious belief and, within limits, religious practice. To accept any creed or the practice of any form of worship can't be compelled by laws, because, as stated by the Supreme Court in Braunfeld v. Brown, the freedom to hold religious beliefs and opinions is absolute. Federal or state legislation can't therefore make it a crime to hold any religious belief or opinion due to the Free Exercise Clause. Legislation by the United States or any constituent state of the United States which forces anyone to embrace any religious belief or to say or believe anything in conflict with his religious tenets is also barred by the Free Exercise Clause.

If a teacher gives a student detention for calling him/her a name/nickname (like Elizabeth) does he/she deserves detention. If y

Flura [38]

Well, I've never heard of a student getting detention for calling their teacher by a nickname, that would be unnecessary and a little over dramatic, don't you think? I think if the teacher doesn't like being called said nickname then the teacher would tell the student to stop calling them by said nickname. But if the student has done it multiple times after the teacher has asked them to stop, then the student would be punished by being sent to the E.R for an hour each day depending on how long the teacher wants you in there (my school's room for students who have done something bad, like a reset room). But detention? That would just be silly.
