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.

As American colonists questioned British rule, public discussion focused on topics such as colonial independence and individual
yKpoI14uk [10]
This is a question asking a personal opinion, so I'll give you mine.

I believe the literature from this period influenced the future generations of American Literature is it taught us to be independent, to stand up against those who simply expect us to follow like mindless sheep. It influenced literature by showing everyone that their opinion matters, even against your authority, and that has influenced books and passages heavily since. 

Traces of these themes can be seen everywhere. Authors from all over make books about how standing up is the best thing to do, and how being independent is important. Books, passages, texts, websites, etc all preach this. This is presented in various situations where independence is important.
