Answer: On May 22, 1856, the "world's greatest deliberative body" became a combat zone. In one of the most dramatic and deeply ominous moments in the Senate's entire history, a member of the House of Representatives entered the Senate Chamber and savagely beat a senator into unconsciousness. The inspiration for this clash came three days earlier when Senator Charles Sumner, a Massachusetts antislavery Republican, addressed the Senate on the explosive issue of whether Kansas should be admitted to the Union as a slave state or a free state. In his "Crime Against Kansas" speech, Sumner identified two Democratic senators as the principal culprits in this crime—Stephen Douglas of Illinois and Andrew Butler of South Carolina. He characterized Douglas to his face as a "noise-some, squat, and nameless animal . . . not a proper model for an American senator." Andrew Butler, who was not present, received more elaborate treatment. Mocking the South Carolina senator's stance as a man of chivalry, the Massachusetts senator charged him with taking "a mistress . . . who, though ugly to others, is always lovely to him; though polluted in the sight of the world, is chaste in his sight—I mean," added Sumner, "the harlot, Slavery." Representative Preston Brooks was Butler's South Carolina kinsman. If he had believed Sumner to be a gentleman, he might have challenged him to a duel. Instead, he chose a light cane of the type used to discipline unruly dogs. Shortly after the Senate had adjourned for the day, Brooks entered the old chamber, where he found Sumner busily attaching his postal frank to copies of his "Crime Against Kansas" speech. Moving quickly, Brooks slammed his metal-topped cane onto the unsuspecting Sumner's head. As Brooks struck again and again, Sumner rose and lurched blindly about the chamber, futilely attempting to protect himself. After a very long minute, it ended. Bleeding profusely, Sumner was carried away. Brooks walked calmly out of the chamber without being detained by the stunned onlookers. Overnight, both men became heroes in their respective regions. Surviving a House censure resolution, Brooks resigned, was immediately reelected, and soon thereafter died at age 37. Sumner recovered slowly and returned to the Senate, where he remained for another 18 years. The nation, suffering from the breakdown of reasoned discourse that this event symbolized, tumbled onward toward the catastrophe of civil war.
Explanation:
It represents the ideals and the opinions of all the citizens. So basically, there are three branches of government; the judicial, executive, and the legislative. The legistaltative branch takes into consideration the votes of the people and create laws, the exectutive branch enforeces these lawas, adn the judcial branch interprets the laws.

Answer: Unification and Awakening of the American Nation
Explanation:
There is no image attached but the image in question is most probably that which Benjamin Franklin attached to an editorial piece he wrote titled '<em>Join or Die</em>'' which called for the unification of Colonial American efforts to defeat the French and their Indian allies in the French and Indian war.
There were a number of symbols inherent in the image of the snake in the carton but perhaps the most obvious was that of unification.
The snake in the picture was cut up into 8 pieces with each of them representing the colonies and Franklin hoped to draw upon the belief then that if you put together the pieces of a dead snake that had been cut up before sundown, the pieces of the snake would magically rejoin, bringing the snake to life again.
The symbol was clear that if the American colonies joined together against the French and Indian threat, they would be unified into a stronger colonial administration that would better ensure their survival.
