The plan was set forth. The giants — Calhoun, Webster, and Clay — had spoken. Still the Congress debated the contentious issues well into the summer. Each time Clay's Compromise was set forth for a vote, it did not receive a majority. Henry Clay himself had to leave in sickness, before the dispute could be resolved. In his place, Stephen Douglas worked tirelessly to end the fight. On July 9, President Zachary Taylor died of food poisoning. His successor, MILLARD FILLMORE, was much more interested in compromise. The environment for a deal was set. By September, Clay's Compromise became law.

California was admitted to the Union as the 16th free state. In exchange, the south was guaranteed that no federal restrictions on slavery would be placed on Utah or New Mexico. Texas lost its boundary claims in New Mexico, but the Congress compensated Texas with $10 million. Slavery was maintained in the nation's capital, but the slave trade was prohibited. Finally, and most controversially, a FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW was passed, requiring northerners to return runaway slaves to their owners under penalty of law

Anna35 [415]

A primary purpose of constitutional government , which subjects governments to fundamental laws is to achieve <u>limited Government.</u>

    What is mean by limited government?

  • The idea of a government with restricted powers is known as limited government in political philosophy.
  • Constitutions and limited government are intimately related; the French Constitution of 1793 and the United States Constitution of 1789 both sought to reinforce limited government, albeit in different ways.
  • The separation of powers established by the U.S. Constitution led to limited government. While "vertical" separation of powers (federalism) divided power between the federal government and the state governments, "horizontal" separation of powers distributed power among the three branches of government (the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary, each of which serves as a check on the other).
  • The Framers of the American Constitution aimed to establish a government that could be controlled as well as exercise control, according to James Madison, one of the authors of the Federalist Papers.
  • On the other hand, the French Constitution of 1793 upheld legislative supremacy and was founded on the notion that rational democratic self-governance, the best counterbalance to the arbitrary rule of absolute monarchy, was the best means of achieving limited government.
