[texhax] newb question - line after section heading

[Joe P King]

So I want to have on line between a section heading

 

Instead of 

 

Section

 

Text

 

I want 

Section

Text

 

My code is, I am using the packages that a friend recommended but there
might be a conflict, I am using my abstract as testing page, I centered the
first line so I can see the spacing better:

 

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt]{article} % this must go first, there are
many different classes

\usepackage[american]{babel}

\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage[style=apa]{biblatex}

\usepackage{fancyhdr} %Used for headers and footers.

\usepackage{amsmath} %Must have for writing equations

\usepackage{setspace}

\usepackage{parskip}

\usepackage{graphicx} % accepts png and pdf graphics

\usepackage{color, soul} % I use this for highlighting. \hl{}

\usepackage{array}

\usepackage{dcolumn} % Used to align tables to decimal points. A little
complicated

\usepackage{longtable} % for tables that go beyond a page

\usepackage{verbatim} %Used for commenting out as well as putting in
verbatim notes

\usepackage{listings} %Similar to Verbatim, can import R code with this
package

%\usepackage{cite} %Used for bibtexB

\usepackage{wrapfig} % Wrapping text around pictures

\usepackage[lmargin=1.0in,
rmargin=1.0in,tmargin=1.0in,bmargin=1.0in]{geometry}

\usepackage[small,compact]{titlesec}

%\bibliography{C:/Users/Joe/Misc/library}

\usepackage{titlesec}

%appear.

%\headheight{15pt}

\renewcommand\headrulewidth{0pt}

%\tolerance = 1500 %

\hyphenpenalty=10000

\parindent = 0 cm %can adjust this to indent all paragraphs to a certain
specification

\linespread{1}

\voffset=-.75in

\pagestyle{fancy} % Determines basic page format; often refers to headers
and footers

%\titleformat{\section}{\normalfont\bfseries\centering}{}{0em}{}

\titlespacing{\section}{0pt}{-1pt}{0pt}

\titleformat{\section}{\normalfont\large\bfseries}{}{1em}{}

%\titlecontents{chapter}[0pt]

\DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa}

\begin{document}
