b) can be amended to abolish slavery

c) rejects both anarchy and despotism

d) understands all Americans as answering to the Almighty Ruler of Nations

a) the currently pressing issues about slavery are not specifically mentioned in the Constitution

Explanation:

The problem with slavery in the US was far more condensed than it was mentioned in the Constitution. When Lincoln became president, he understood the current arguments that happened between the free states of the north and the slave states of the south. These arguments were not going to undermine the Constitution because at that time the Constitution was changing. After the Civil War started, these arguments escalated more to a matter or power and “expansion”. The currently pressing issues about slavery were not specifically mentioned in the Constitution. The Constitution at that time had many changes as the years went by. The constitution at first stated that slaves were not considered people. Later slaves became property and were treated like people. It was not until the end of the Civil War, when all arguments ceased with the creation of the three amendments where it states the abolishment of slavery.
