Popular sovereignty is the concept that all power is ultimately derived from the people. This means that every time you vote or express an opinion to a local leader/ politician, you are shaping the way this country is run. The problem? Old while men are the ones with free time on their hands, so they are the ones going out to vote and becoming/ influencing politicians, which makes the national vote a reflection of- not the actual public's opinion, no- but instead the opinions of those who have lots of free time on their hands... (*cough, cough* <em>white nationalists)</em>
Americans express popular sovereignty every day... kind of.

Explanation:
In 1819, Congressman James Tallmadge, Jr., of New York initiated an uproar in the South when he proposed two amendments to an account admitting Missouri to the Union as a free state. The first banned slaves from moving to Missouri, and the second would free all Missouri slaves born after admission to the Union at the age of 25. With the admission of Alabama as a slave state in 1819, the United States was equally divided with 11 slave states and 11 free states. The admission of the new state of Missouri as a slave state would give the slave a majority in the Senate; the Tallmadge Amendment would give the free states a majority.
The Tallmadge amendments passed the House of Representatives, but failed in the Senate when five Northern Senators voted with all the southern senators. The question was now the admission of Missouri as a slave state, and many leaders shared Thomas Jefferson's fear of a crisis over slavery - a fear that Jefferson described as "a fire bell at night." The crisis was solved by the 1820 Commitment, which admitted Maine to the Union as a free state at the same time that Missouri was admitted as a slave state. The Commitment also prohibited slavery in the Louisiana Purchase territory north and west of the state of Missouri along the 36–30 line. The Missouri Commitment calmed the issue until its limitations of slavery were repealed by the Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854.
In the South, the Missouri crisis aroused old fears again that a strong federal government could be a fatal threat to slavery. The Jeffersonian coalition that united southern planters and northern farmers, mechanics and artisans in opposition to the threat posed by the Federalist Party had begun to dissolve after the war of 1812. Only in the Missouri crisis did the Americans realize of the political possibilities of a sectional attack against slavery, and only in the mass policy of the Jackson Administration this type of organization around this issue became practical.
Answer: Technological developments make knowledge more accessible to different varieties of people from different backgrounds. Another way that technology gives countries opportunities is by providing a faster and more simple way of producing things. For example, factories have machines that people operate. In a factory over a hundred objects can be made in record time. If humans were to make these objects by hand, the process would go slower and less product would be produced. In conclusion, technology provides many countries with various opportunities that enhance the lives of humans everywhere.
