Answer: a. The national government instituted regulations to handle environmental issues.

The 1960s and 1970s were a period of increased awareness about environmental issues among the population. One of the catalysts was the book <em>Silent Spring</em> (1962) by Rachel Carson. The book discussed the negative effects of pesticides, in particular DDT, on wildlife. The 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill also generated public outrage. As a result, many regulations were passed in order to protect the environment. Moreover, those that already existed were reviewed and rewritten to make them more comprehensive.

How do American citizens exercise popular sovereignty?
Margarita [4]

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.
