The correct answer to this open question is the following.

There is no question here, just a statement.

So we can just comment on the following.

It is true that "The Constitution . . . Meant that its coordinate branches should be checks on each other. But the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic (dictatorial and oppressive) branch."

That is what the United States President Thomas Jefferson commented on September 11, 1804. What he tried to express with that quote, answering to Abigail Adams was that, according to the US Constitution,  the judicial branch, and more specifically, its judges, could decide on the constitutionality of some legislation, but only to advise the Executive and Legislative branch.

1. How did California’s desire to be admitted to the union as a free state in 1850 cause disagreements between the North and Sou
Shkiper50 [21]

1. Answer: California's admittance to the Union as a free state angered the South because it meant there were more free states than slave states. It also angered them because slaves could escape and go there to be free.

2. Answer: The Compromise of 1850 eased the South's concerns of Congress abolishing slavery after admitting California as a free state because the Fugitive Slave Act was a provision in the compromise that would legally require escaped slaves to be returned to their owners if caught. The compromise also ensured popular sovereignty which allowed individual states to vote on issues.

3. Answer: The Fugitive Slave Act required that escaped slaves that went to the North would have to be returned to their owner in the South. The North rebelled against this law, however.

4. Answer: Georgia's response to the Compromise of 1850 was the Georgia Platform. It said that Georgia would accept the compromise if the North no longer made any attacks on slavery in the South.

I hope this helps!!! :)

Explain the importance of land ordinances of 1784 and 1785, as well as the northwest ordinance of 1787, both for the early repub
Elina [12.6K]

The Land Ordinance of 1784 redistributed the new lands between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River into new territories. The original states had laid claim to the new lands but Jefferson created the land ordinance to ensure new states could be admitted.

The Land Ordinance of 1785 established a systematic way to divide the new western lands into 1 acre plots to create townships. Each township contained 36-1 acre square plots. With the 16th plot reserved for a school. The act set pricing for land that stayed in place until the 1860s. The reserved plot for schools demonstrated the government's desire to create public schools and to make education a priority.

The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 created the process for lands to become a territory and then to become a state. The act stated slaves were not allowed in the Northwest Territory and all civil liberties were to be protected by the governments. This act demonstrated the progress the Founders were hoping to make and the eventual goals they had for the country in creating new lands.
