Question

4. When the Republican Party was formed, its members were most strongly committed to

O A. avoiding a civil war by compromising with the South
O B. preventing the spread of slavery into new territories
O c. adopting a constitutional amendment to end slavery
OD. preserving the balance between free and slave states

Answer 1

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The Republican Party was not in favor of extending slavery into new territories and hence they were strongly committed to it.

Hence, option B is correct
