These are my two essay topics and I need to write both of them. However, I don't know what to talk about because I don't quite understand what the topic is asking me. Can someone clarify it? As well as providing some information?

Question

THANKS!

2) By the 1850s the Constitution, originally framed as an instrument of national unity, had become a source of sectional discord and tension and ultimately led to the failure of the union it had created. Assess the validity of this statement.

Answer 1
