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.

What is one thing the women’s rights movement accomplished?
lana66690 [7]
B is the correct answer. When looking at these answers, you have to think about whether or not this seems like something that would have been one of the goals of the women’s right movement.

With answer A, it’s unclear. This could be related to women’s rights, but considering that gender or women are not mentioned, it’s unlikely.

With answer B, it is clear that this is about gender equality, which is what specifically the women’s rights movement was fighting for. This answer is correct.

With answers C and D, it is similar to answer A. Both are improvements to equality, but are not gender or women specific, so it is unlikely that is was done by the women’s rights movement.
