i'm not sure about the first question, but the second one is the 14th amendment
In an extraordinary late-night decision, the U.S. Supreme Court halted a recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court. ... The 2000 presidential election was the first in 112 years in which a president lost the popular vote but captured enough states to win the electoral vote.
The Compromise of 1850 set up an untenable status quo between the northern and southern regions of the United States in terms of slavery policy. The U.S. Congress intended to achieve a sustainable solution for the conflict over slavery policy. However, the Compromise of 1850 merely delayed the inevitable schism between rivalling regions of the nation.
Organized and championed by Henry Clay, the Compromise of 1850 was a series of laws and policy enactments that formed a comprehensive new national policy toward issues of slavery and westward expansion. At the core of this debate was the question of whether or not frontier territories should join the Union as new slave states. Southern states preferred an expansion of slavery into new territories, whereas northern states argued in favor of abolishing slavery in any new states. The Compromise of 1850 determined that new states would be slave-free, and the slave trade was also abolished in Washington, D.C.
In exchange for these concessions, southern states received an amendment to the Fugitive Slave Act, which forced northern states to take more aggressive measures to return escaped slaves into the southern states from which they departed. This was wildly unpopular in the North, and many northerners refused to abide by these policies, assisting escaped slaves through the Underground Railroad to Canada. As a result, tensions continued to escalate after the Compromise of 1850 failed to settle the slavery matter, and the Civil War became increasingly inevitable in the following decade.
in my own understanding
I think that the leaders believe that women would have additional rights if they had the vote (to he honest I don't know what vote is that). since the early ages women were not given equal and unjust rights, if they had the vote, leaders believed that women would gain more additional rights
