The Compromise of 1850

When the gold rush occured the Americans said the California should be admitted into the United States as a free state. This would mess up the balance between slave states and free state. Henry Clay proposed the idea that was then named the Compromise of 1850. He came up with 5 laws: 1. Congress would admit California into the Union
2. People in New Mexico and Utah territories would decide whether to allow slavery or not.
3. Congress would abolish the sale of enslaved people, in Washington D.C
4. Texas would give up claims to New Mexico for $10 million
5. A Fugitive slave act
This avoided the problem because slavery was still there it was not taken care of.

Current Events: Two Moroccan Journalist Jailed for Misinformation

Two moroccan journalist were jailed due to the fact that they published misinformation it wasn't backed up by the truth. So mainly they lied and recieved a consequence of jail time. They lied about major drug trafficking network that is called the "Triha" which is the name of the suspected leader. I cant find in the article when and where all of this took place I will update this blog when I find the information.

In which situations will compromise not work in a teenagers life?

In a teenagers life there is mainly two sources of power, one which everyone abides by the Goverment, and the second would be their parents. Every teenager or most teenager get rules in which he/her cant change, rules like you cant stay out past a certain time, you cant get into a fight at school or else you are grouded, or a rule could be that as simple as call your mom every saturday. Lets say the teenager were to get into a fight at school or break their curfue, the parents would then make up a certain punishment in which the parents feel would make sure the child would never do it again. But in my opinion this never really works. One way in which you can avoid a punishment like this is to just not do it, or dont get caught. On rule that no one can get around is murder, a human being cant murder another human being without having to pay a certain consequence. Well I am sure a couple slip by but I know the vast majority of murders get caught and they then go to jail for a life sentece or a certain amount of years. This is a rule which no one can alter, people take this very sereously. A pathway you can follow to some how get past all of this would yet again be to just not comit the crime, or get a very good lawyer.

Where would I emmigrate to after my university studies

After I finished my university studies and I was all prepared to work, I would move back home. I would have probably went away from home to go to school so I would come back home to start a life. In Washington ( which is the place I would live) people work all types of ways such as lawyers which is what I want to be, bankers, own your own business, ext. People in Washington depend on each other family wise an friend wise because you wouldn’t go up to some random person and ask then to help you out financially or to stay in their house. In the society there people are ranked high class, medium and low class. High class is that you are very wealthy mainly rich. Medium class is that you work for a living and you have a stable bank account and you are not poor but not right you are middle class. Low class is that you are on the street, poor no where to go and you beg for a living. In Washington people are treated as equals everyone is treated the same, because in the state even this country the American constitution is in place and everyone is to be treated as equals. In Washington the majority of religions are, I believe are Christian and there are others such as Muslims and Catholics, protestants and others. In technology everyone is pretty much up to speed on the latest gadgets but I don think the states is as advanced as Japan.
