An effect of the kansas-nebraska act of 1854 was that
a) the democratic party was formed.
b) the missouri compromise was passed.
c) senator stephen douglas was elected.
d) the republican party was formed.

The correct answer is D. An effect of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 was that the Republican Party was formed.

Explanation:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was adopted in 1854 in the United States, under the administration of President Franklin Pierce. The law opposed the earlier Compromise of 1850 by arguing that the new territories of Kansas and Nebraska (both significantly larger than the current states of Kansas and Nebraska) would be allowed a referendum on slavery despite being north of the latitude stipulated in the Missouri Compromise. The law angered slavery opponents of both Democrats and, above all, within the Whig Party, which in the same year formed the Republican Party on a completely slave-friendly basis.

The correct answer is D. An effect of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 was that the Republican Party was formed.

Explanation:

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
