During the debate over California statehood, the vice president of the United States, John Calhoun, refused to compromise regarding the expansion of slavery.

It happened due to the fact that he considered slavery a "positive good" (using his words). His position had the support of a segment of society and had consequences that even influenced the civil war, later to come.

What reasons does lincoln give for hating the principle of popular sovereignty?
makvit [3.9K]
Lincoln hated popular sovereignty because it was used to have power over slaves. It was intended to support the people from having their slaves and bringing them to different places that they wanted without any restrictions. It ties the slaves to an obligation of having a master.  It was a confused principle used to justify slavery.

S the BEST description of the impact of Shays' Rebellion on American politics?
mylen [45]

Shays’ Rebellion further underlined to Washington and other American leaders the weakness of the Articles of Confederation. Although plans for a Constitutional Convention were already under way, the uprising in Massachusetts led to further calls for a stronger national government and influenced the ensuing debate in Philadelphia that led to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution in the summer of 1787.

According to Edward J. Larson, author of “The Return of George Washington,” the rebellion “haunted Washington” and was “perhaps an essential, final straw” in pulling him out of retirement to serve as president of the Constitutional Convention. “Regardless of their cause, the commotions sufficiently shocked Washington to set him on the road to Philadelphia,” Larson writes.
