the kansas nebraska act continues the idea of which of the following

Answer 1

The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 continued the idea of popular sovereignty, which allowed the settlers of a territory to decide whether or not to allow slavery within their borders. This idea had been introduced in the Compromise of 1850, which allowed for the admission of California as a free state and the establishment of the territories of New Mexico and Utah with the question of slavery left to popular sovereignty. The Kansas-Nebraska Act extended this concept to the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, which led to a violent conflict known as "Bleeding Kansas" as pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers fought for control of the territory.
