Question

What did Stephen Douglas's theory of popular sovereignty lead to?

the abolition of slavery in Nebraska and Kansas
O the death of Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts
O peace agreements between the free-soilers and pro-slavery settlers
O corrupted elections, violence, and political chaos

Answer 1

The correct answer is corrupted elections, violence, and political chaos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Douglas believed that every state needs to decide whether they will allow slavery on their territory. He didn't believe that slavery should be abolished, and was confronted by Abraham Lincoln. This led to numbers of problems in the country, and that is why last option is the correct answer

First option is not correct as these states are known for the famous Kansas-Nebraska Act from 1854.

Senator Sumner died in 1874 long after slavery was abolished.

Third option is also wrong because as we know Civil War started in 1861.
