Solution
The correct option is C Abolition
The Democratic Party was a proslavery party and therefore, Democrats did not want to discuss the issue of abolition. A gag rule is a rule that limits or forbids the raising, consideration, or discussion of a particular topic by members of a legislative or decision-making body. A gag rule may be formally neutral, that is, forbidding discussions or arguments either for or against a particular policy.
