"The great vice of the government is our violent party spirit; that vice which Washington foresaw, and against which his last warning was given; that which was the prominent evil of Rome, of Greece, of Holland, of all ancient and modern Republics, is our great calamity. This spirit of party, sordid, blind and selfish when carried to extremes, finds its choicest aliment in the local interests and sectional prejudices with which every country abounds. Those interests and prejudices necessarily increase with every extension of territory, and it is in this light that every great augmentation of the Union becomes formidable."-Source: Theodore Sedgwick, Thoughts on the Proposed Annexation of Texas to the United States, 1844The reference to "sectional prejudices" in the excerpt most directly refers to which of the following developments in politics during the mid-nineteenth century?

"The agitation on the subject of Slavery, now raging through the breadth of the land, presents a most extraordinary spectacle.

"We are constantly upbraided for entertaining the wish and intention to extend slavery. This is constantly thrown up to us on every opportunity and in every form, and the cry is raised that the Union is endangered by our course upon this very subject, and this argument is thrown out on every possible occasion that it is we who make these assaults and endanger the permanency of our institutions. It is not so. . . ."I only wished to state that there is danger of the Union; that its foundations are shaken; and that they may probably fall, and I believe that they certainly will fall, if the people who have been dealing these blows so fast and so heavily do not cease the agitation of this subject."-Source: Senator Solomon W. Downs of Louisiana, The Congressional Globe, Volume 18, 1849The excerpt was written in response to:
"That any attempts by congress to interfere with the institution of slavery in any of the territories of the United States would create just grounds of alarm in many of the States of the union; and that such interference is unnecessary, inexpedient, and in violation of good faith; since, when any such territory applies for admission in to the union as a state, the people thereof alone have the right, and should be left free and unrestrained, to decide such question for themselves."-Source: State Senator Broderick, Journal of the California Legislature, 1850The excerpt is best understood as a response to which of the following historical developments?
