Why did the application of Missouri territory for statehood cause two years of intense debate? (5 points) It applied to become a

slave state, but the Tallmadge amendment had wide support, which would force it to abolish slavery at once. Congress had not yet determined an official process for admitting new states from the area known as the Louisiana Purchase. It applied to become a free state, but there were already slave owners living there who would be forced to leave or free their slaves. Congress was concerned about how admitting it as a slave state would affect representation and the balance of power between states.

Answer:

Congress was concerned about how admitting it as a slave state would affect representation and the balance of power between states.

Explanation:

During that period, Missouri was a huge area that was called Missouri Territory and by 1819, there were enough people in part of that so it could be considered a state. But to be considered a state the Congress had to approve it.

In that period there was a struggle between free states and pro-slavery states the union wanted a balance between those two and the addition of a new state could ruin that balance.

The admission of Missouri would have added a slave state to the Senate and left northern non-slave states as a minority. This is the reason the application of Missouri caused a two-year debate.

How did Gideon v. Wainwright and Miranda v. Arizona impact civil liberties in the United States?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

This significant case created the need for additional public defenders. Programs were developed in states around the country to help recruit and train public defenders. Today, the number of cases defended by public defenders is huge. For example, in 2011 in Miami Dade County, the largest of the 20 Florida Circuit Courts, approximately 100,000 cases were assigned to Public Defenders.

Miranda v. Arizona(1966), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prevents prosecutors from using a person's statements made in response to interrogation in police custody as evidence at their trial unless they can show that the person was informed of the right to consult with an attorney before and during questioning, and of the right against self-incrimination before police questioning, and that the defendant not only understood these rights, but voluntarily waived them.
