D. Allowing Texas into the Union would upset the balance of slave and free states in Congress. Though it soon became a state since Manifest Destiny was a very popular idea at the time.
Their views on many issues are known.
The answer is A. They had an alliance called the blank check with them
The structure of Congress is based on two major determiners: equal representation for all states and representation based on population. The Senate has equal representation from each state by allowing exactly two senators from each state to be elected in. The House of Representatives is literally representative of the people because the number of reps from each state is based on population, as a states population grows or shrinks compared with other states it's number of allowed representatives rises and falls. For example, a state with a huge population like California has 53 reps while a state with significantly fewer residents, like Wyoming only has 1 rep. Most states fall in between.
In my school's legislature I would have two houses to make sure there was balance in representation. One house would have 3 students from each grade who were elected into their positions. The other house would have representatives from every major club or interest group based on how popular that group is. For example, there are a lot of athletes at this school so there might be 5 representatives elected to speak and vote on behalf of their group. There are much less people involved in yearbook so they would have 1-2 representatives. The legislative houses could meet regularly to discuss major issues in the school and come with ideas to make the school better. All the members would have an equal value in their vote about solutions to the issues. The two houses could pass ideas by each other for major progress and change. I think that this would be the best way to make sure that every student in our school was represented in our congress regardless of grade level or interest group.
This should not be difficult for you! I am sure you can do it!
Just write a piece of fiction. Imagine yourself living a boring life, on the farm, having to take your flock of sheep out to chew some green grass. Think about all the other jobs you could be doing as a farmer. Growing plants, living in open lands, the freedom you can experience, and how fulfilling that life would be. A quiet life, away from all the troubles.
Hope I've given you some ideas!
