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.

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 answers should be B and C, because they worshiped Yahweh, a monotheistic God. They also experienced many periods of captivity under Babylon and Persia.

Although they were considered themselves one culture yet divided politically, I would not describe them as city-states, more like tribes. This is why the answer is not A.

Their art focused more on gold or silver structures that showed reverence toward their God, not focusing on the human body. This is why the answer is not D.
