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

History
1 answer:
klasskru [66]3 years ago

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.

How might merchants benefit more under capitalism than under mercantilism?
lana66690 [7]
Capitalism promotes free trade and free market while mercantilism limits the trade between countries so that more money is entering the country than out. Merchants will have a larger selection of what to sell under capitalism and unregulated sales.

Hi! The cultural aspects of the ciry-state impact the from of government because the greeks were in some ways independently -minded and developed a culture of individual freedom where it was considered by many a disgrace to work for someone else. This independence led the lower classes to want to participate in government, and promoted democracy - not today's representative democracy where a member of parliament is supposed to represent the citizens within an electorate, but rather direct democracy, where all the citizens met in assembly each fortnight and made decisions directly on matters put to them by a council, which latter saw to the implementation of their decisions. So I hope that help :)
