Amylase and lipase are digestive enzymes. Amylase breaks down dietary starch, and lipase aids in the digestion of dietary fats. The pancreas produces these enzymes in large quantities and secretes them into the small intestine. Diseases of the pancreas most commonly cause elevated amylase and lipase, although other disorders may lead to abnormally increased blood levels of these enzymes.
The Fugitive Slave Law or Fugitive Slave Act was passed by the United States Congress on September 18, 1850, as part of the Compromise of 1850 between Southern slave-holding interests and Northern Free-Soilers.he earlier Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 was a Federal law which was written with the intent to enforce Article 4, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, which required the return of runaway slaves.
Federal Laws Regarding Slavery. There are two paths for Federal laws regarding slavery: 1. fugitive slaves 2. free African Americans. These issues intertwine themselves in the early years of the Republic. Slavery is viewed as a local (state) issue so that the U. S. Constitution only mentions slavery indirectly.his act concerned building boats for use in slave trade. Enforcement of this law appears as elusive as the fugitive slave trade laws and further refinements of the act were found necessary.In 1807 Congress passed a law (2 U. S. Stat. 426) against importing slaves into the United States.
