Answer:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was inspired by senator Lewis Cass's idea to let the territorys decide through popular soverignty (vote) if they would become a free for slave state.

Both the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Missour Compromise were an effort at compromising with the pro-slavery politicians to lower their anger.

Answer:

Deciding The Issue Of Slavery

Step-by-step explanation:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed each territory to decide the issue of slavery on the basis of popular sovereignty. Kansas with slavery would violate the Missouri Compromise, which had kept the Union from falling apart for the last thirty-four years.
