The best answer is A.

Popular sovereignty was a doctrine under which the status of slavery could be determined by the settlers themselves. Although the doctrine won wide support as a means of avoiding  conflict over the slavery issue, its meaning remained rather ambiguous since those who supported it  disagreed as at what stage as territories developed should the decision be made.

A. Douglas, a main promoter of the doctrine, wanted the choice  to be made at an early stage of settlement, while others felt that it should be made just before each territory achieved statehood. It was first proposed by vice president George Dallas in 1847 and popularized by Lewis Cass in 1848.

The House of Lords powers were limited to
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The house of Lords power is limited to certain laws. The house of Lords can reject or pass any bill, but they cannot reject or pass anything which the House of Commons has rejected. The House of Lords power is restricted by the Parliament's acts.

Explanation:

The house of Lords is a group of elected people who are eligible to hold their seats until the day they die. Under no obligation are they to be replaced unless they want to.

Even though they are accountable to no one, they do not share the same

privileges as the House of Commons do.
