Question

The Compromise of 1850 included the idea of popular sovereignty. Which of the choices below best explains its meaning? Voters of a state will choose representatives to decide for them with regard to the slavery issue. Voters of a state or territory will vote on the slave issue, and it will be included in their state constitution. Congress simply decides based on earlier compromises

Answer 1

"Voters of a state or territory will vote on the slave issue, and it will be included in their state constitution" would be the best option, since popular sovereignty means that the people choose directly on certain issues--in this case slavery.
