Answer:
Explanation:
Q.1) The 1860 presidential election turned on a number of issues including secession; the relationship between the federal government, states, and territories; and slavery and abolition. Candidates had to consider how to hold the nation together when its states were divided about slavery and states' rights; how to resolve questions about federal vs. state power; how to govern the Western territories; and how to respond to extremist abolitionists like John Brown. Lincoln's careful stance on a variety of issues guided him to a meager victory in a year when the country, and its political parties, were ravaged by a maelstrom of complicated and volatile issues.
Q.2) The problem of violent predatory governments won't be permanently solved by agreements such as these.
Q.3) How can compromise help solve problems?
When both parties are able to truly listen and attempt to respectfully understand the position of the opposing party they can often come to accept their disagreements. The mutual acceptance of differences increases the likelihood of a productive resolution to the dispute
Q.4) Once international conflict is initiated, what ends it? In general, Conflict Behavior ends when a new balance of powers has been determined. The balancing of powers that we see as Conflict Behavior (as defined in Table 4.4) will not end until a balance is achieved; then, conflict ends. A new balance is therefore a necessary and sufficient condition for termination.1
More specifically, what constitutes this new balance of powers? First, it is a mutual balance between the interests of the conflicting parties--between wants, desires; between goals and intentions. It may be over something as abstract as what God a people will believe in; or as concrete as whose flag will be raised over a specific, small island.
The conflict mutually communicates the relevant interests of each party and their strength of purpose. A new balance then means that both parties better perceive their mutual interests that were engaged in the conflict and are willing to live with whatever satisfaction of interests that results from the confrontation.
