Introduction
Under America's first governing document, the constitution of United States was written and ratified in 1787 undemocratically as to some extent undemocratic means, a government that operates by a fixed system of laws rather than taking into consideration will of the Democrats. During that time, the government used to be weak while the states used to operate as independent countries. It could be witnessed that during 1789 and 1877, people became more interested in politics and the American political systems were democratized during that period as more people got right of casting vote. Undemocratic features that remained to be addressed include “voting, slavery, the electoral college, representation in the Senate, judicial power, elections of elections and limitations of the congressional powers”.
Discussion
Each of the states would be having two senators without considering the size of the state, and it was considered as an undemocratic feature as states with smaller size would become prominent than what they would be having otherwise. There were many causes behind the Mexican war but one that acted as fuel to the firs was the annexation of Texas by the U.S. Insecurity of Mexico was another cause of war, because joining of Texas with the U.S would cast negative impacts on Mexico as it would lose a portion of its territory. Rebellion nature of Texans was one of the leading causes of the Mexican war.
Conclusion
The impact of the Mexican war on sectionalism was that the U.S gained control over the territory of Texas and California and there began a debate whether these lands would be set free or enslave. It was decided that California would be the only free territory and rest of the lands received from Mexican would go to popular sovereignty, and all these things increased sectionalism. The topic, what would happen with the rest of the territories became one of the most favor topics for all for the people of that time.
