Answer: Popular Sovereignty

Explanation:

Prior to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the slave status of a new territory would be decided by the Missouri Compromise which based the state's slave status on geographical location as it prohibited slavery in states to the North of the 36°30′ parallel (excluding Missouri).

In 1854 however, a bill that would later be known as the Kansas-Nebraska Act was introduced to Congress by Sen. Stephen A. Douglas who hoped to gain support from Southern politicians for a state to be established on land gained from the Louisiana purchase.

The bill called for the status of a state to be decided by Popular Sovereignty which essentially meant that the people of the state would decide whether or not they wanted to be a free state instead of Congress as had previously been the case.

With this act therefore, the new territories would decide their status by themselves.

2. PART B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

D. “But the relationship between the choice of a specific institution and a major and a lucrative and fulfilling first job and career is complicated. It has lots of moving parts.” (Paragraph 23)

Explanation:

Part A question is: Which statement best expresses the central idea of the text?

A. Having a college degree isn't valuable right now, as there are few jobs that actually require people to have a degree.

B. It's difficult to measure the long-term financial payoffs that certain majors will yield, which is why it's best to choose majors based on your interests and strengths.

C. Students should focus on occupation-specific majors, as they're more likely to be placed into jobs immediately after graduating.

D. While liberal art degrees don't prepare students for a specific job, they give widely applicable skills that all employers value.

The correct option is B, and we can see that option D in part B best supports the answer because it talks about institutions, which is where people study to major in a specific area regarding interests and strengths. Also, it mentions that the relationship between the choice of an institution, a major, a lucrative and fulfilling first job, and a career has lots of moving parts. In these moving parts, there are different variables. They modify how well a certain degree will pay off and the many facts that influence the choice of a career.
