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.

What early experiences did Elizabeth Cady Stanton think might have sparked her interest in politics?
kotegsom [21]
Stanton's father, Daniel Cady, was a Federalist<span> attorney</span><span> and later became a New York Supreme Court Justice. Even while she was still a young girl, she took pleasure in reading her father's law books. She enjoyed going into debates with her father's law clerks about legal issues. This early introduction to law made Stanton realize the inequity of the law for men and women, especially married women. Her realization that married women had practically no rights to property, jobs, earnings, and custody over their children led her to the path of her fight for the women's rights movement.</span>

One way in which this division of power weakened the country.
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Division of power tend to prolonged the legislation making process.

Explanation:

Division of power is initially created to prevent the government from becoming to powerful. We do this by dividing the government into three branches. The legislative branch to create the laws, the executive branch to implement the law, and the judicial branch to oversee the law

Even though this division is important, it has its own downside.

One of them is that it can prolonged the legislation making process. In order to pass a certain type of law, the legislative branch need to pass an examination made by the judicial branch and approval from the president on the legislative branch. Those branches do not always agree on key issues. This make the process to create a law become long and complicated.
