Did the senator Stephen Douglas write the Kansas-Nebraska act?

Yes. He thought the people of each new state should vote whether it ought to be slave or free ('Popular Sovereignty').
He didn't foresee the problem about just one thinly-populated state voting at a time. Every bully-boy in America - from both sides - would cross into the state and intimidate voters. The resulting violence was called 'Bleeding Kansas'.
