Hi there!

Question - Excerpt from Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo; February 2, 1848

“In consideration of the extension acquired by the boundaries of the United States, as defined in the fifth article of the present treaty, the Government of the United States engages to pay to that of the Mexican Republic the sum of fifteen millions of dollars.”

What was an effect related to the passage?

Answer - Overturned the Great Compromise

Why - The reason I say this is because the other answers didnt even occur in this event or dosen't make sense.

i confess that there are several parts of this constitution which i do not at present approve, but i am not sure i shall never approve them: for having lived long, i have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. it is therefore that the older i grow, the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.

4 copper and gold, the california gold rush is why im pretty sure.
