Excerpt from Douglas’s speech:

"I believe that the Union can only be preserved by maintaining inviolate the Constitution of the United States as our fathers have made it. That Constitution guarantees to the people of every State the right to have slavery or not have it…each State being left free to decide for itself. The framers of that Constitution…well understood that each one of the thirteen States had distinct and separate interests, and required distinct and separate local laws and local institutions."

—Stephen A. Douglas, Springfield, Illinois, June 17, 1858

• What is Douglas’s point of view regarding the Constitution?

• Which statement from the excerpt shows his point of view?

• Explain how the selected quote shows Douglas’s point of view.

• What is an historical idea or event that supports Douglas’s point of view?

serously i just need the three question gesh i got this one for the first question
1.Douglas believed strongly in "States' rights". In other words, being a free person or being a slave is not an individual's right.
Answered by Ms. Sue
How about number 2? Which statement supports your answer for 1?

Answered by Reed
Yes, he believed in "states' rights". What did that have to do with being a free person or a slave? And where, in the excerpt, does he say that?

We can't and won't do your homework for you. You have a good start on the first question. Apply the same skills to the other three.
Answered by Help ASAP
I think for question 2. his point of view is that slave and non slaves are both not individual rights.

3. the selected quite was when he says "I believe that the Union can only be preserved by maintaining inviolate the Constitution of the United States as our fathers have made it.

4. i need help on this one
Answered by Reed
3. I don't think so. Does Douglas actually mention "states' rights" anywhere in this quotation? And how does that sentence explain his point of view?

For #4, what have you learned so far in your class about "states' rights" and how the concept had been applied before Douglas made his speech?

I like how this went from "no do it on your own"/"we will help you with the work, not do the work for you" to advertising brainly
Answered by bruh
basically it went something like..

Lincoln: We should all unite together as one before this separation in our government becomes a problem.

Douglas: Each state should be able to do what seems fit for them since they have the right to.

if im wrong on anything be free to correct me
Answered by do it yourself
I doubt that you need help still because that was 5 years ago but really? Going online to get answers is cheating. Just ask your teacher I'm sure they would be glad to help. smh
Answered by not tellin srry :)
Dougles was for popular sovereignty, which says that states should decide if they want or do not want slavery.  
In his speech he says the constitution guarantees that the people in different states have the right to have slavery or not.
The quote shows Douglas point of view because he was all for people having the right to choose if they wanted slavery or not
btw don't c and p if u do it will me called plagiarism yup i done it befoe so i would put it in yo own words yea lmao and im answerin dis years later :/
