Compromise of 1850
There were several important issues in the compromise of 1850. These issues were:
- A vast territory has been gained by the United States. They are wondering if they should allow slavery in the land or set it free or that the citizens should choose.
- Should california be a free state.
- There was some kind of disbute over land where Texas declared that its lands streched till Santa Fe.
- Washington D.C allowed slavery. It was the largest slave market in North America.
There was a compromise where Texas was said to forget about the lands and in return be given 10 million dollars. California would be a free state. Slavery was another big problem because many blacks fled from the country to live in present day Canada.
Kansas-Nebraska Act
The Kansas-Nebraska act was when Kansas and Nebraska people had the right to allow slaves if they wanted. There were two groups: The pro-slavery which strongly recomended the slavery and the anti-slavery, which was against. Violence rose among these two groups of people in which the death toll increased. The elections that were held were won by the pro-slavery. After each election, the pro-slavery was attacked by the anti-slavery group in which violence arose. Before the civil war, Kansas became a free state.
Presidential Election 1860
The issues of the presidential elctions in 1860 was mostly slavery. In the elections, Lincoln needed to face Douglass, which was another man running for president. In 1859, Lincoln gave a speech in New York in which he denounced slavery. The speech was a big success. Lincoln wanted to ge the support of the Illinois delegation to the Republican National Convention. Eventually he got its support. Throughout the presidential election, Lincoln continued to get the support of more and more people. In the day of the elction, Lincoln got less than 40 percent of the votes but still won the elections.

Politics in Morocco
Leaders of Morrocan Political parties welcomed the U.S. position over Morocco's autonomy leader. This happened on saturday where the main topic was mostly about the Sahara issues which lasted more than 300 hundred years. When Hillary clinton last visited Morocco, she stated that morocco's autonomy leader for the Sahara desert is mostly "serious" or "credible". Moroccan leaders such as Thami Khyari or Ismail Alaoui stated that this is a clear message to the enemies that wish to see a change on the U.S. position.

Compromising
Compromise could not work in a teenager's life when someone is asked to dring alcohol. This drinkable substance is not allowed in the muslim religion for whatever reason. An example is if someone asks you to drink alcohol against 1 million dollars, the muslim person will need to decline this offer. If he accepts, he just would brake a muslim statement.
Compromise could not work in an international political situation when a national leader is asked to leave his post in return for leading another nation. This could also not work because it isn't right to leave his or her nation back to govern another country. It is like leaving our family behind.

Where I would like to immigrate to after my university studies
When I finish my university studies, I would like to migrate to the United States of America because it has a very developed economy. There are many jobs there that are not present in other countries. In my case, I would like to start with engineering and continue my career with business. Another reason why I would like to migrate in the U.S.A is because the people are free to express what they want. Back when there was the American Revolution, people hadn't lots of rights like today. When the British colonized their lands, the Americans needed to accept the harsh laws imposed by them for example taxes.

Questions about the reading
1) Describe the debate over the nature of government. Compare the viewpoints of
Jefferson vs Hamilton.
The debate on the proper role of government continued when the Americans won their new constitution and new government. It even continued through Washington's administration. Hamilton thought that the government needed to develop the American economy. He didn't care much about the people that lived in this country. The only problem was that the government still had a depth of nearly 75 million dollars. In order for him to find the money to pay the depth, he decided to set 2 new taxes that were based on importing goods and Whiskey taxes. The government accepted this idea wisely. On the other hand, Thomas Jefferson was the one that most opposed Hamilton's point of views. He believed in the idea of strict construction that was based on using the power of the constitution. Hamilton's idea was different. He believed in a loose construction in which the government could use some of the "powers of the constitution as to do many things as long as they were not expressly prohibited by the constitution." pg.90
2) What is a political party?
A political party is a group of people who seek to win elections and hold public office in order to control government policy and programs." pg 91
3) Describe John Adams presidency. What were some of the difficulties he faced?
John Adams was a leader in the American Revolution. During his presidency he didn't acknowledge the same talent as George Washington. This was normal because he had a small nation between his hands that still was in the form of development. Some difficulties that he faced were the French that wanted to
declare war. This was because the Americans signed the Jay's Treaty with the British. In order to express their anger towards the Americans, the French began to seize their ships that were placed in their harbor. In order to find a solution to this problem, John Adams decided to send some people to negotiate with the French.
4) Outline the key events of Jefferson’s presidency.
Thomas Jefferson acted in a democratic way. He had an excellent start in his presidency in which he bought Louisiana from the French. It was half the size of the American Nation. One thing that he failed to do was limit the federal courts. The second term didn't go as smoothly as the first. He left the office in the year of 1809.

Migration From Morocco, where they go, and who is migrating from it
Different reasons why Moroccans migrate from Morocco are that they can't find a good and suitable job in their home country. They think that migrating would bring them a better life and fortune. The only problem is that some migrating people could not find a good job in the other countries and have a miserable life. Other reasons why people migrate is for their school work. When they graduate from school, they got to find a good english University in order to extend their work. Only one known university is found in Morocco which is located in Ifrane.
When people migrate they usually go in Europe. Only 9 percent of the migrating people go in North America in which the remaining are found in Spain, France, and Italy. I once saw in the news that their are almost 1 millions Moroccans living in Spain, making it the most popular country for Moroccan Migration. I also noticed that most of the migrating car identities come from Spain.
Some people that have industrial work can migrate from Morocco for a year or two in order to establish some company businesses in other countries. Also, some soccer players that would like to play in other countries migrate. Finally, teachers that would like to teach in other countries and know a little bit of other cultures migrate.
