Based on the historical account, the statement that BEST summarizes a common argument against admitting California as a free state is "<u>It would disrupt the existing balance of power between slave states and free states</u>."

Before the admittance of California as a free state in 1850, the number of States in the United States was 30, with 15 each serving as slave states and free states, respectively.

However, as California was admitted as a free state, making it the 16th free state, many Southern states who were slave states felt that it would affect the power balance or decision structure in the Senate.

This made the US Congress to guaranteed the slave states that there would be no federal restrictions of slavery on Utah or New Mexico.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option B. "It would disrupt the existing balance of power between slave states and free states."

What point is Roosevelt trying to make in this<br> speech?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

This is part of a radio speech delivered by President Roosevelt in December 1940 (this was the second year in WWII, and the US was still neutral in the conflict).

He aimed to convince the audience about the necessity of ensuring a safe defense strategy for Great Britain, so that they were able to avoid the German invasion and resist the many attacks they were suffering.

Apart from the ideological fight against nazism, Roosevelt highlighted how if GB fell, the last territory in the Atlantic, before reaching the US, would have been conquered. That would pose a direct threat on the US. Therefore, he supported the idea that GB should remain free at any cost.
