Answer:
Under a series of laws known collectively as the Compromise of 1850, on this day in 1850, Congress recognized New Mexico and Utah as newly incorporated U.S. territories. On the same day, California — with its current boundaries — was admitted to the Union as a free state.
At that point, the boundaries of the New Mexico Territory embraced most of present-day New Mexico, more than half of present-day Arizona and portions of thestates of Colorado and Nevada. Its borders remained in flux until Jan. 6, 1912, when the territory was admitted to the Union as the state of New Mexico.
The final extent of the Utah Territory was fixed on Jan. 4, 1896, when it too was admitted into the Union as the state of Utah. The controversy stirred by Mormon dominance of the region delayed its admission as a state for 46 years.
By contrast, the Nevada Territory, although more sparsely populated, was admitted to the Union in 1864, three years after its formation, largely because during the Civil War President Abraham Lincoln and Congress sought to consolidate the Union’s hold on its silver mines. Colorado was admitted as a state in 1876.
A key provision of the laws that organized both the Utah and New Mexico territories called for slavery to be either permitted or barred as a local option. In adopting so-called popular sovereignty as a guiding principle, Congress, in a vain effort to avert a then looming civil war, repudiated the idea of banning slavery in any territory that had been acquired from Mexico.
With the exception of a small area around the headwaters of the Colorado River in present-day Colorado, the United States had acquired the land contained in these territories from Mexico in 1848 under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Isn't it b france became a limited monarchy
Answer: In ancient Roman families, the father had complete control over all members of the family.
Roman society was essentially based on the family as the fundamental pillar of society, and within it men, the father of the family, exercised totalitarian control over all its members. Thus a patriarchy was exercised, in which the father of the family (called pater familias) had absolute power over it.
The powers of the pater familias as head of the house varied. The word of the pater familias was considered irrevocably final. According to the archaic law of the twelve tables, the pater familias exercised the vitae necisque potestas - the power over life and death - over the members of the family. Under certain circumstances he was allowed to kill his children, his slaves or his wife. However, this right was restricted by social control.

Answer:
Eleven million people migrated from rural to urban areas between 1870 and 1920, and a majority of the twenty-five million immigrants who came to the United States in these same years moved into the nation's cities. By 1920, more Americans lived in cities than in rural areas for the first time in US history.
