Which of the following was a provision of the fugitive slave act?
enslaved people were denied trial by jury.
northerners were allowed to protect fugitives.
citizens did not have to turn in fugitives.
fugitives were given their freedom after a year.

The right answer is Enslaved people were denied trial by jury. The controversial act, contradicted the North cause and enforced the slavery in the Southern states. The law denied a jury trial for those alleged fugitives, also counted with the citizens to enforce the law, locating and capturing runaways slaves. Those runaways would be captured for up to 6 months and fined. In the end, this act acted to empower the anti-slavery movement in the North.

one of the major compromises in the constitutional convention was between the small states and big states. the small states wanted each state to have the same number of representatives in congress. the big states wanted representation based on population.

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
