Popular sovereignty is the idea that the people within a geographic territory should be able to make decisions about how they are represented or governed. The idea is to maintain the consent of the people through elected representatives. Therefore the notion of popular sovereignty is represented in the notion that "The people that live in a territory should choose whether to allow slavery or not."
The 13th admendent took away slavery in 1865. But in order to protect the former slaves' rights they had to create to more admendments which is where the 14th admendment comes in.
for the 14th admendments, the imapct for that one was that the U.S. Constitution now protected all U.S. citizens (including former slaves) from state-level policies that discriminated against them because of their race.
for the 15th admendment, this one granted african americans the right to vote by stating this "right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
for the 19th admendment gave women the right to vote so this one mostly impacted on women, changing a lot of things since only men were allowed to do so.
for the 24th admendment, it prohibited any poll tax in elections for federal officials.
for the last one, the 26th admndment. This is where the phrase "old enough to fight, old enough to vote" comes in. during World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt lowered the age for the military draft to 18, at a time when the minimum voting age was 21.
Hope this helped!!!!

Answer:
<em>The ability of an individual or group to carry out a particular economic activity more efficiently than another individual or group. </em>
Explanation:
Or, an economy can produce a greater total of goods for the same quantity of inputs.
(Absolute advantage means that fewer resources are needed to produce the same amount of goods and there will be lower costs than other economies.)
The natural resources included gold, diamonds, cooper, cobalt, and rubber. These resources were tapped by the native Congo population through a system of slave labor implemented by King Leopold II. This made the Belgian government/economy prosper at the hands of the slave laborers in this country. This brutal regime resulted in the deaths of thousands of Congo citizens.
