Answer:

Popular sovereignty was seen on the issue of slavery as a political middle ground. Popular sovereignty is the principle that people should rule,  and as such the status of slavery  should be determined by the votes of local settlers and not congress.

During the Mexican War, when slavery became a political problem, Douglas faced a challenge. Fearing that the issue would interfere with the Constitution, he argued for the doctrine of popular sovereignty — the right of the people of a state or territory to determine for themselves the question of slavery — as a solution for the sake of the Union. He led the congressional struggle for the 18th compromise.

Answer: the Spanish government.

Explanation:

Around the time when the USS Maine was sunk in 1898, there had been tension between the United States and Spain and the sinking only made this tension many times worse.

The USS Maine was sunk while it was at the Havana harbor in Cuba which was under the authority of the Spanish Government at the time.

Galvanised by the Yellow Journalism of the U.S. Press at the time, many Americans believed that it was the Spanish Government that ordered the sinking.

Sabbath is a day where the Jewish people have a religious observance.

Kosher is the type of foods and drinks Jewish people consider religiously restricted, like how some foods have to be halal for Muslims to eat.
