4. Considering his audience at the inaugural address, and considering the events taking place in the US at this time, does Lincoln’s quote prove that he is either for or against slavery? Explain your reasoning.

the correct answer is: (1) affected by gerrymandering; (2) not affected by gerrymandering.

gerrymandering is known as a practice that intends to establish a some kind of political advantage for a particular party or group. to do this district boundaries are manipulated. the new resulting district is named a gerrymandering.

in other words, what gerrymandering does is to draw the boundaries of electoral districts trying to benefit the party who is doing it. sometimes, the party controlling the legislature will redraw it so they can maximize the number of districts they are likely to control.

would be the one having to do with paine talking about how the colonies are so "close" to independence anyway, since he viewed that only rational next step at this point being revolution.

is there any answer choices?
