Why did douglas's "popular sovereignty" approach to the slavery question prove to be unworkable in kansas and elsewhere?

History

Answer:  It led to unrest and violence between pro-slavery and anti-slavery groups.

Context/details:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act enacted by Congress in 1854. It granted popular sovereignty to the people in the Kansas and Nebraska territories, letting them decide whether they'd allow slavery.  In essence, this made the Kansas-Nebraska act a repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had said there would be no slavery north of latitude 36°30´ except for Missouri.

After the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into Kansas to try to sway the outcome of the issue, and violence between the two sides occurred.  The term "bleeding Kansas" was used because of the bloodshed.

2.- Las siguientes son causas del descontento
Sonbull [250]

Answer: b) Estuvo en contra de las Leyes de Reforma

Explanation:

Fernando Maximiliano de Habsburgo fue seleccionado por Napoleón III para tomar la Corona mexicana. Si bien el nuevo emperador contaba con el apoyo de los mexicanos conservadores, Maximiliano demostró tener una perspectiva mas cercana a los republicanos liberales. El descontento de los conservadores fue generado justamente porque Maximiliano retomó las leyes de Reforma y les sumó legislación relacionada con el codigo civil, las garantías individuales, y los derechos de los grupos sociales más desprotegidos.
