Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois played a key role in the development of the Compromise of 1850. He introduced the concept of popular sovereignty, which allowed the settlers of a territory to determine for themselves whether to allow slavery.

His efforts were instrumental in passing the compromise, although it ultimately failed to provide a lasting solution to the slavery issue in the United States.
