The Kansas -Nebraska Act continued the idea of which of the following

Answer 1

The Kansas-Nebraska Act, passed in 1854, continued the idea of popular sovereignty, which allowed the settlers of a territory to decide whether to allow slavery within their boundaries. This principle was used as a means to resolve the contentious issue of slavery in new territories and states, rather than having Congress make the decision. The Act allowed the creation of the territories of Kansas and Nebraska and effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had prohibited slavery in those territories. The implementation of popular sovereignty contributed to significant conflict in Kansas, known as "Bleeding Kansas," as pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions rushed to influence the outcome.
