Document 3 On January 29, 1850. Senator Henry Clay proposed a series of resolutions, to settle "...all questions in controversy between the free states and slave states" The list below contains excerpts from Clay's speech. Some of the ideas in the speech were used in the Compromise of 1850 Selected Proposals for the Compromise of 1850 1. That California ought to be admitted into the Union without restriction as to the inclusion or exclusion of slavery. 2. That as slavery does not exist by law, and is not likely to be introduced into any of the territory acquired by the United States from the Republic of Mexico, it is not in the interest of Congress to pass a law either establishing or prohibiting it in the land acquired from Mexico 3. That it is not wise to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia while slavery continues to exist in Maryland without the consent of that state, the consent of the people of the District, and without just payment to the owners of slaves within the District 4. That, however, it is wise to prohibit-in-the District of Columbia, the bringing-in of slaves from other states either to be used in the District or to be sold there for use in other states. 5. That stronger provision ought to be made by law for the capture and return of slaves who may have escaped into any other state or territory in the Union. 6. That Congress has no power to prohibit or prevent the trading of slaves between States. This depends completely on the laws of each individual state.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
