Answer:  C. The people in a territory would vote to make slavery legal or illegal.

Explanation:

"Popular" means a vote by the populace, the people.

"Sovereignty" refers to where power or authority lies.

So "popular sovereignty" means that the people of the states (or territories becoming states) had authority over their own territory's approach to the slavery issue.

The Civil War was fought over both the issue of "states' rights" (the idea of each state's popular sovereignty), as well as the issue of slavery, which was ended in the United States after the Civil War.   From that point on, at least on the issue of slavery, states could not decide their own path.  The 13th Amendment was added to the US Constitution and made slavery illegal in all states.

Here's what the 13th Amendment said:

  • <em>Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. </em>
  • <em> Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation</em>

Why did the Bolsheviks triumph over anti-Communists?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The Bolsheviks defeated anti-Communists because their actions were approved by the people and they were supported by the military.

Explanation:

The Russian Revolution of 1917 was one of the volatile political protests of the century. The result of this protest resulted in the uprooting of the Romanov Dynasty and czarist rule.

The Bolsheviks were led by Vladimir Lenin and were successful in driving out the imperial dynasty. After the Russian Revolt of 1917, the Russian Civil War began in 1918 in which anti-Bolsheviks (White and anti-Communist) stood against Bolsheviks (Reds and Communists). The Bolsheviks were able to defeat Whites as they have already become popular amongst them because of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and were backed up by the military.
