List of all the reasons why the Missouri Compromise was contentious in the US.

History
1 answer:
Natasha_Volkova [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Missouri’s bid to become the first state west of the Mississippi River, and to allow slavery within its borders, set off a bitter debate in a Congress that was already divided into pro- and anti-slavery factions. During the debate, Rep. James Tallmadge of New York proposed an amendment to the statehood bill that would have eventually ended slavery in Missouri and set the existing enslaved workers there free. Southerners who opposed the Missouri Compromise did so because it set a precedent for Congress to make laws concerning slavery, while Northerners disliked the law because it meant slavery was expanded into new territory. Sorry I can't list everything this was an essay that I don't have anymore I'm just going off the top of my head.

Why did he framers of the constitution want to include checks and balances in the federal government?
Lana71 [14]

The principle of Checks and Balances looks to enable each government branch (executive, judicial, and legislative) to apply a certain extent of influence over the other branches.

It was fundamental that the framers added it to the Constitution, as these functions guarantee the separation of powers. This is a key element for any Federal government to keep balance and ensure no individual branch gets too powerful in comparison to the others.

For example, the Executive branch can veto bills from the Legislative branch, but the Legislative branch can override that veto.

How did labor unions affect the economy after WW2?​
raketka [301]

Answer:

Explanation:

At the same time, labor unions won long-term employment contracts and other benefits for their members. Farmers, on the other hand, faced tough times. Gains in productivity led to agricultural overproduction, as farming became a big business. Small family farms found it increasingly difficult to compete, and more and more farmers left the land.

7. Why is support for the Electoral College greater in small population states than it is in larger population states?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The smaller population states have more power by using the Electoral College than they would otherwise.

Explanation:

The Electoral College of the United States is made up of electors who elect the President and Vice President of the United States. The Constitution determines how many voters each state has; in practice, the number is the same as the total numebr of congressmen that each state has.  

Voters do not directly elect the President and Vice President of the United States, but vote through the constituencies of their own state. Voters can, in principle, vote for any candidate, but in practice undertake to vote for a particular candidate, and thus voters know how to cast their vote through their constituents for their own candidate. This is an example of an indirect election method.

The smaller popularion states tend to support the electoral college more emphatically than the larger population states, since this voting mechanism implies an equalization in the proportion of votes by the smaller states with respect to the larger states. Otherwise, if it were the case of direct vote by citizens, four or five states could be decisive, leaving other citizens on a secondary level.
