History
2 answers:
worty [1.4K]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The four free states west of the Mississippi River were Iowa, California, Minnesota and Oregon.

Explanation:

The Northwest Territories of the United States was the first region in the United States to completely abandon slavery. The Northwest Ordinance passed shortly before the adoption of the US Constitution (1787) stipulated that slavery and religious discrimination were prohibited in the Northwest Territories.

The states that were later established in the region, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, were mostly settled by New England immigrants and retired veterans of the American Revolution.  These states prohibited slavery since its creation.

With the creation of the states of California and Oregon in the west coast, there was also agreed that these states would become free states, to keep the balance between slave and free states in Congress.

Controversy surrounding gibbons versus Ogden was is the weather the states federal government have the right to regulate navigat
igor_vitrenko [27]

The Gibbons v. Ogden case is a 1824 precedent of the United States Supreme Court, that gave Congress the control of interstate commerce.

Under a state law, New York State had granted Livingston and Fulton exclusive rights to use and navigate all waterways in the state. Gibbons arbitrarily initiated a passenger transport business between New York State and New Jersey, and Ogden sued Gibbons in violation of his exclusive business right.

Gibbons operated a steamer that ran between New York State and New Jersey State. Because of this, the restrictive regulations imposed by the State of New York were harmful to him. He argued then that it was a power of the Congress to control trade when several states were involved, so the decision of the State of New York went against this precept. The Supreme Court established that, indeed, it was the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce and that the law of the State of New York was in violation of federal antitrust laws that prohibited monopoly.

How did the formation of the United States contribute to the Enlightenment in
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

C. It allowed Europeans to see the philosophies they had been

discussing put into practice

Explanation:

Since the very first news of the American Revolution, European reformers and future revolutionaries have begun to look closely at its example. The texts of the Declaration of Independence and Constitutions (USA and individual states) influenced the documents of the French Revolution and were included in the ‘compulsory/ reading of European radicals.

The publication of Alexis de Tocqueville's book Democracy in America in 1835 and its immense popularity in Europe was the first sign that the American example was beginning to play a role in political debate. The European revolutions of 1848–1849, dubbed Spring of Nations, marked a turning point in the development of ideas about the place of the United States in world politics.

On the whole, the “young democrats” in Europe formed the two prevailing images of the American revolution: as a struggle for national identity and a “universalist” revolution, “in the interests of all mankind” - a world-wide revolution that overthrew the monarchy and established a republican form of government that rooted the sovereignty of the people.
