The Dred Scott decision by the US Supreme Court in 1857 damaged Senator Douglas' main political position on slavery. It virtually vetoed his policy of popular sovereignty.
What were the implications of the dred Scott decision for the concept of popular sovereignty?
No implications. The Dred Scott case concerned the unwise act of taking your slave into free soil and then back again, setting up confusion over the status of the slave. Those wanting to deny Scott his freedom were simply exploiting this confusion. Popular Sovereignty was one of the many compromises involving the statehood of new territories to the West. The question of 'slave' or 'free' would be decided by local vote. The only connection was the Supreme Court's claim that slavery was protected by the Constitution, so in theory no state could vote to exclude slavery. But not many people saw this as a realistic verdict.
Did Dred Scott want secession?
