3.)
a controversial political doctrine according to which the people of federal territories should decide for themselves whether their territories would enter the Union as free or slave states,,, the basic idea of democracy.
4.)
I strongly believe that the north side gained the most. The north side received California as a free state. Since California was a free state the free states outnumbered the slave states. The balance of the Senate was now with the free states, although California often voted with the south on many issues in the 1850s. The major victory for the south was the Fugitive Slave Law. In the end, the north refused to enforce it. Massachusetts even called for its nullification, stealing an argument from John C. Calhoun. Northerners claimed the law was unfair. The flagrant violation of the Fugitive Slave Law set the scene for the tempest that emerged later in the decade. But for now, Americans hoped against hope that the fragile peace would prevail.
