Answer: FALSE

If you look at a map of the Louisiana Purchase, a line across the southern border of Missouri was set, with no slavery allowed north of that line, except for the state of Missouri itself. So the amount of Louisiana Purchase territory established for free states was greater in land mass than the amount of that territory set to allow slavery.

The Louisiana Purchase territories were acquired from France in 1803. Debates over the future of new states in that region continued for the next decades. Missouri was a part of what was acquired in the Louisiana Purchase. In 1820, when Missouri was ready to apply for statehood, a compromise was reached in Congress that established a plan for slave vs. free regions within the overall Louisiana Purchase regions. The Missouri Compromise admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave state with Maine being added as a free state at the same time, to keep the balance of slave and free states equal. It also prohibited any future slave states north of the latitude line 36 1/2 degrees north of the equator in territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the exception of Missouri (north of that line) being admitted as a slave state.

3. How does the president limit the legislative powers of congress?

kogti [31]

Correct answer choice for question 3 is :

D) By using the veto

Explanation:

When the president determines to deny a bill, the Congress can vote on it again. If two-thirds of the Congress vote in support of the proposal, they revoke the veto. The bill becomes a law. The legislative department can evaluate rules made by Congress and signed by the president. The president's powers are restricted in the method of limits and stability. As the head of the governing department, the president assures the implementation of the regulations in our country.

Correct answer choice for question 4 is :

A) He appoints all federal judges

Explanation:

Constitutionally, the President of the USA may not restrict the authority of the judiciary section. The Constitution is the base for all American laws, and the US Supreme Court is the final authority on what is or is not legal. The only authority the President has on the Supreme Court is the capability to elect judges to that court, with Congressional support. Which means the prevailing authority and the Conservative Congress will be struggling for a moderate judge whose version of the law is more to their desire.

Correct answer choice for question 5 is :

B) Commutation

Explanation:

The president's power to replace a condemned person's decision to make the penalty less severe is called Commutation. Presidents have restricted the ability to act unilaterally or make management judgments on their own. Presidents have used official orders as a way of performing important plans unilaterally. Using an event-count review, the incidence of administrative orders changes with substantive reforms in the president's legislative situation.
