1 answer:

7 0

For centuries, opera was not only the most prestigious form of Western music but also the most political. Cohen observes that the invention of opera coincided with the emergence of the modern nation-state, and the art form’s subsequent evolution has mirrored changes in state power. Many of the greatest operas raise profound questions of political philosophy. Claudio Monteverdi’s operas portray the ruthless political intrigue that the composer saw around him in small Italian courts.

Agata [3.3K]

Compromise of 1850 affected the issues of expansion as its allowed the territories gained in the Mexican-American War to become states.

<h3>What did the Compromise of 1850 do?</h3>

Compromise of 1850 admitted California as a free state and left Utah and New Mexico to decide for themselves whether to be a slave state or a free state.

Its also defined a new Texas-New Mexico boundary which makes it easier for slaveowners to recover runways under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

Therefore, the Option B is correct.
