GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Popular sovereignty was seen on the issue of slavery as a political middle ground. Popular sovereignty is the principle that people should rule,  and as such the status of slavery  should be determined by the votes of local settlers and not congress.

During the Mexican War, when slavery became a political problem, Douglas faced a challenge. Fearing that the issue would interfere with the Constitution, he argued for the doctrine of popular sovereignty — the right of the people of a state or territory to determine for themselves the question of slavery — as a solution for the sake of the Union. He led the congressional struggle for the 18th compromise.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

30,000 and 60,000

Explanation:

Given that almost half of the population of Athens was made up of slaves, the total number of males eligible for political participation ranged between "30,000 and 60,000"

This is evident in the common population statistics presented by many historians concerning the city of Athens, before the period of 432 BCE.

The statistics show that the city of Athens had a minimum of 140,000 Athenians, roughly 40,000 were men and citizens, while about 40,000 were considered slaves, which is almost half of the population.

Hence, given that some historians were not exact about the population of males eligible for political participation, the general consensus is that it ranged between "30,000 and 60,000"
