The Kansas-Nebraska Act continued the ideas of which of the following? A. Missouri Compromise. B. Compromise of 1850. C. Free Soil Party. D. Dred Scott v. Sanford.

Answer 1

The Kansas-Nebraska Act continued the ideas of A. Missouri Compromise. The Kansas-Nebraska Act effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise by allowing the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery, thus introducing the concept of "popular sovereignty." This was a significant shift from the Missouri Compromise, which had maintained a clear geographical line regarding the legality of slavery.
