Slavery and the interpretation of federal versus state controls in the Constitution of
US are the principle political and sacred issues of the 1850s that showed distress for Georgia.
The Constitutional issue in Georgia in 1850s was due to compromise of 1850 that led
to people doubting the convention under which Union was created (Alpers 70). The point of
concocting the record was to determine the issue of subjection in the areas obtained after the
impedance of the central government on the bondage issues in the Southern states would be
acknowledged. The report demonstrated that states were to stay in the Association as long as
their rights concerning the holding of slaves were guaranteed and secured by the constitution.
Thus, Georgia thought about the arrangement of bills in the Trade off of 1850 as an
extraordinary defilement.
Famous Power procedure is one of the established issues. Another fundamental political issue
that prompted Georgia conflicting with the Association was the predominance of the Vote
based Gathering (Alpers 68). Before, the political field was adaptable permitting moving
from most of the Whig to Democrats and the other way around. Be that as it may, the
Tradeoff of 1850 has encouraged the foundation of the Protected Association Gathering.
All in all, abolitionism, disunity, and protectionism are the Constitutional and political
issues of the 1850s showed turmoil for Georgia as a US part prompting changes.
