Who has to approve a treaty that the president signs?

How was the United States able to gain more territory/ land and become larger in the 1800s?

Sav [38]

Answer:

In 1debate over the issue, Kentucky Senator Henry Clay proposed another compromise. It had four parts: first, California would enter the Union as a free state; second, the status of slavery in the rest of the Mexican territory would be decided by the people who lived there; third, the slave trade (but not slavery) would be abolished in Washington, D.C.; and fourth, a new Fugitive Slave Act would enable Southerners to reclaim runaway slaves who had escaped to Northern states where slavery was not allowed.

Bleeding Kansas

But the larger question remained unanswered. In 1854, Illinois Senator Stephen A. Douglas proposed that two new states, Kansas and Nebraska, be established in the Louisiana Purchase west of Iowa and Missouri. According to the terms of the Missouri Compromise, both new states would prohibit slavery because both were north of the 36º30’ parallel. However, since no Southern legislator would approve a plan that would give more power to “free-soil” Northerners, Douglas came up with a middle ground that he called “popular sovereignty”: letting the settlers of the territories decide for themselves whether their states would be slave or free.

Northerners were outraged: Douglas, in their view, had caved to the demands of the “slaveocracy” at their expense. The battle for Kansas and Nebraska became a battle for the soul of the nation. Emigrants from Northern and Southern states tried to influence the vote. For example, thousands of Missourians flooded into Kansas in 1854 and 1855 to vote (fraudulently) in favor of slavery. “Free-soil” settlers established a rival government, and soon Kansas spiraled into civil war. Hundreds of people died in the fighting that ensued, known as “Bleeding Kansas.”

A decade later, the civil war in Kansas over the expansion of slavery was followed by a national civil war over the same issue. As Thomas Jefferson had predicted, it was the question of slavery in the West–a place that seemed to be the emblem of American freedom–that proved to be “the knell of the union.”

What would a society be like if there were no rules enacted by a body like the legislature?

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Without any rules and regulation in society there would most likely be anarchy and even greater corruption by the few.

It would be total anarchy.

At first it would be fine. People would get along fine. But then someone gets drunk and kills someone else. Then a third person kills the second person.

Finally, a fourth person would try to stop the fight peacefully, he would die, and then everyone would get angry at the person who killed the fourth guy (I know, it’s confusing, but stay with me), and they would kill him.

People would then realise, after the fact no one got in trouble, that they could do whatever they wanted. Large companies wouldn't Have to abide by any laws, so monopolies would occur.

Because there is no government, there would be no official currency. This means coins would be counterfeited and the economy would crash.

There would be environmental damage as well. Without any laws about game, critically endangered animals would die out, causing the ecosystem to fall apart. Overfishing would kill of entire species of fish.

Finally, only small villages would remain, as cities would be to dangerous because of all the pillaging. Seaside towns would die out as overfishing would destroy their food source. small villages would have their own governments and would survive for a couple more decades until bandits came and looted everyone.

By this point, nuclear power plants will of melted, causing extreme damage to what's left of the ecosystem. Bandits would survive the longest, because they’re nomads they'd pillage until there truly was no food left, and then the human race would die.

Hope this helps and if you could mark me as brainliest. Thanks!

Humanistic psychology emphasizes the importance of: question 1 options:

timofeeve [1]

The answer is B. a positive self-concept

Humanistic psychology deals with the individual as a unique person. It emphasizes the role of feelings and motives relating to self-esteem. And self-esteem can only be attained through a positive self-concept.

A and C are related. Reciprocal determinism is a theory proposed by Albert Bandura that says a person's behavior is very much influenced by personal factors and his environment. External locus of control is determined by the environment. For D, it's too far from the correct answer because empirical tests are only given to validate a person's personality.
