Because popular sovereignty was well supported because it allowed the local citizens of a territory to decide if slavery was to be allowed or illegal. Stephen A. Douglas pushed for popular sovereignty during the 1840's.

Hope this helps :)

Popular sovereignty is a political principle that is very present in the politics of the United States. This principle states that the authority of a state comes from the consent of its people through their elected representatives. In practical terms, this means that citizens are the ones who hold all power of the state and who can make decisions.

Popular sovereignty was considered a just and fair way to settle the slavery question, because this gave each state the right to decide whether to practice slavery or not. It was believed that by giving the states this right, the will of the people was respected.

The concept of checks and balances was established by the authors of the Constitution (3 points)
Musya8 [376]

The correct answer is A) so that no single branch of the government would gain too much power.

<em>The concepts of checks and balances were established by the authors of the Constitution so that no single branch of the government would gain too much power. </em>

This concept is a valuable precept because with the checks and balances system, it can pervent wrongdoings from the other parts of the government and the exercise of power is equally divided. In the United States, the Constitution acknowledges three branches: the executive, that in the presidency of the U.S.; the legislative, that is the House of Representatives and the Senate; and finally, the Judiciary, that is the Supreme Court.
