The correct answer is B) the status of slavery in the Mexican Cession.
Clay's speech foreshadows the congressional debate over the status of slavery in the Mexican Cession.
As the leader of the Whig Party, Henry Clay (1777-1852) became one of the most prominent political figures of his time. He was Secretary of State and Speaker of the House of Representatives. He was a charismatic Senator that knew how to relate with people to convey his messages.
In a speech delivered in 1847 about the Mexican-American War, he foreshadowed the issue of slavery and how this issue could divide the country even more.
Henry Clay supported the idea of gradually ending slavery in the United States and relocating former slaves so they could start to live a different life.
The correct choice is
"A", "The only Federal institution was Congress, and there was no president or national court system."

The american republic
The Founding Fathers of the US borrowed some of the elements of government from Rome, but they developed and added a few innovations. Unlike Rome, checks and balances came from the workings of three areas of government: a President, who was responsible for the jobs of Commander in Chief of the military, would appoint ambassadors to take care of foreign policy, and could propose laws to the Legislative Branch; the Legislative Branch, including both a Senate, whose members are elected for six year terms, and a House of Representatives, whose members are elected for two year terms. Both houses need to agree on a law before it is sent to the President for signature. Finally, they created an independent Judiciary known as the Supreme Court whose job it was to ensure that laws passed by the Legislature were consistent with the U.S. Constitution.
The Roman government, though was advanced for its time, it was was overcome with corruption and instability. The Senate would usually have more power over the Executive branch and there was very little to no independence among the branches of government, which tended to be heavily influenced by dominant political faction. The United States distributes its power evenly. Because each state has both local and national representatives, it helps promote the interests of the people in a way that Roman government did not. The American Republic is a lot more evolved and refined then that of Ancient Rome.
<span>Social
contract theory, nearly as old as philosophy itself, is the view that
persons' moral and/or political obligations are dependent upon a
contract or agreement among them to form the society in which they live.
Socrates uses something quite like a social contract argument to
explain to Crito why he must remain in prison and accept the death
penalty.
Hope this helps :)
