Why did abolitionists from the North care if new territories entered the Union as free states or slave states?

History

Answer: Voting power

Explanation:

Abolitionists sought to abolish slavery in the United States and for that to happen they needed a majority in Congress. New States also got to send representatives to Congress and vote on government policy.

It was therefore imperative that a state entered the Union as a free state so that when it sent representatives to Congress (especially the Senate), those reps could vote in favor of abolishing or at least limiting slavery.

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Based on the Supreme Court's ruling in Tinker v. Des Moines School District, the students would be allowed to wear T-shirts supporting a political candidate, as the T-shirts do not disrupt school activities.

Explanation:

The ruling in Tinker v. Des Moines stated that the combination of the First and Fourteen Amendments to the Constitution of the United States did not allow a public school to punish its students for the use of political symbols, since this was a type of indirect discourse protected by the First Amendment that did not obstruct the normal functioning of the school activity.

Applying the same precedent, the students must be authorized to wear the T-shirts, as they would not be affecting the normal school activity.
