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.

If you could choose between living in medieval Europe as a serf, knight, lord/noble or specifically as King Charlemagne, which w
ziro4ka [17]

From these social classes of Medieval Europe, I consider the best is the lord/noble.

During the Middle Ages, European society was organized into different social classes. The main social classes included:

  • The King and Queen.
  • The lord/nobles.
  • The knights.
  • The serfs.

This social structure implied the king and queen had more power but also more responsibility in society. On the opposite, the serfs had less power but were not responsible for big decisions or social aspects.

Based on this, the best social position will be the one of lord/nobles because:

  • They were not responsible for all the nation.
  • They had power over other social levels including the serfs.
  • They did not have to risk their lives to protect the king as it happened to the knights.
  • They still had multiple benefits such as control over lands, access to carriages, horses, etc.

The U.S. expanded its territory largely through military conquest. Even purchases from other European powers, such as the Louisiana Purchase and Alaska.

Explain how James Madison and Thomas Jefferson illustrated the continued American spirit of rebellion after independence and the
satela [25.4K]

Jefferson and Madison would create the Democratic-Republican political party to be a voice for the common man against the elite Federalist party. The two men fought laws and policies enacted by Washington and Adams when they believed they violated the Constitution and the rights established by the Bill of Rights.

One example of this was Jefferson's writing of the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions in regard to the Whiskey Tax. Though written anonymously, he suggest the states (the people) were allowed to nullify, or ignore, federal laws that the people did not agree with. He suggest it was in the rights of the people to refuse to pay the whiskey tax.

Jefferson and Madison were both outspoken about their disagreement with the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts by John Adams. Jefferson would overturn the acts after becoming the third president of the US. Madison also stood against John Adams in regard to the "midnight-appointments" which was an expansion of the federal court system. Madison refused to issue the confirmations of the judges causing one to take Madison to court in the famous case, Marbury v. Madison.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Voting is a process which gives an individual citizen the rights to choose their leader or candidate to rule their country.

Explanation:

Voting for a presidential candidate from a minor party can be beneficial and disadvantageous. By voting candidate from a minor party, people are rejecting bigger parties like Democrat and Republican. By choosing a minor party or called as the third party in America, your appeals and request heard clearly. Minor parties have ideologies of both Old and New Right to make America prosper.

Drawbacks are that it is hard for the minor party to get ballot access laws for its candidacies. Because they are in small size and not like the other two dominated party in America, they face many problems.
