Answer 1

Popular Sovereignty was the idea that **the people would vote to decide if their state would have slavery.** This concept was famously applied in the context of deciding the status of slavery in the territories of the United States during the mid-19th century, particularly in the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.
