Parliament wasn’t with them they were controlling colonists over another country. Which taxation with out representation as they said was what made them think that it was time to seperate. Their thoughts weren’t listened at all about the government.
The event that occurred first: The Missouri Compromise
- The Missouri Compromise was passed in Congress in 1820. It admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave state with Maine being added as a free state at the same time, to keep the balance of slave and free states equal. It also prohibited any future slave states north of the latitude line 36 1/2 degrees north of the equator in territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the exception of Missouri (north of that line) being admitted as a slave state.
The other items:
- Discovery of gold in California was in 1848.
- Application for statehood by California was in 1849.
- The Compromise of 1850 was (obviously) in 1850. As part of the Compromise of 1850, California was admitted to the Union as a non-slavery state.
The most significant reality about congressional decisions is that officeholders usually win. Not exclusively accomplish more than 90 percent of the occupants looking for re-appointment to the Representatives house win; however, the vast majority of them earn over 60% of total votes.
In any event, when challengers' situations on the issues are nearer to the voters' positions, officeholders still will, in general, win. Voters are not mindful of how their legislators and agents vote.
