How did the war in Mexico affect the slavery debate?
it more than doubled the amount of land in the United states, which, especially after the admission of California as a state, raised problems over which states would b slave states. Because california was on both sides of the Missouri line, that old rule was overturned and replace by the notion of popular sovereingty, in which the people voted for or against slavery. Slavery proponents took advantage of the new rule, and facilitated a large influx of slave owners to the new territories so that they may be admitted as slaves states. The northerners didnt like that at all.

Why were states rights argued about during arguments about states rights?
It was the Southern states objecting to the high tariffs on the imports they needed because they had so little industry. As these tariffs were aimed at protecting American industry - nearly all in the North - they looked like the North taxing the South. So the Southern statesthought it was their right to over-rule Federal law. When the slavery debate heated-up in the 1850's, States Rights was also taken to indicate the right to practise slavery.
