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.

how does the existence of a site like catus hill demonstrate the challenge that archaeologist face when making theories?
bezimeni [28]

Conclusions of archeologists were based on artifacts found over a large area. Exact dates cannot always be determined, and scientists don't always agree on the data provided by the evidence. New discoveries may contradict theories that have already been accepted.

Cactus Hill site has human remains that have been dated to about 20,000 years ago. Due to its location in Virginia proves that human beings had arrived in America earlier than this. That data contradicts the theory that claims that humans reached America from Siberia through the modern day Bring Strait.  

The Cactus Hill Archaeological Site is located on a wind-deposited terrace of the Nottoway River in Sussex County.
