What is popular sovereignty and how did it affect territories becoming states?
Erika14
Popular sovereignty was the right of the residents of these territories to vote themselves on the issue of slavery (in this case). In the Compromise of 1850, the territories of New Mexico and Utah were granted popular sovereignty to decide for themselves if slavery should be allowed or not in these areas.

∙ 9y agoPopular sovereignty was a means of compromising the wishes of anti and pro slavery advocates by allowing the western states to decide for themselves whether they wanted to be free or slave states. Instead of compromise, it had the opposite effect with abolitionists angry that the decision had been taken out of the government's hands and the decision had been given to the states.
