The Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Compromise of 1850, specifically the provision that prohibited slavery in territories north of the 36°30’ parallel. Instead, the Act allowed for the potential expansion of slavery into those territories based on popular sovereignty.

When is a court opinion considered precedent?

All published opinions (majority, concurring, dissenting, etc.) except per curiam (unsigned opinions) may be cited as precedent. Supreme Court opinions supersede all lower court opinions, and set binding precedents which both federal and state courts* are supposed to adhere to under the doctrine of stare decisis.* US Supreme Court decisions only apply to state courts if they involve incorporated parts of the Bill of Rights or other applicable amendments.


How can the United States Constitution be changed?

Assuming this question is about the US constitution: The constitution can only be amended, existing text cannot be modified or deleted. However, amendments can invalidate previous parts (for instance, the 21st amendment repealed the 18th amendment). There are two ways to start an amendment: One is for both houses of the US Congress must pass the amendment with a two-thirds majority. The second is for two-thirds of the states to vote to convene a constitutional convention which will draft the amendment (the latter method has never been used successfully). After either of those occur, three-fourths of the states must vote to ratify the amendment. This can either be done by votes in the state legislatures, or be requiring that each state convene a special convention to ratify the amendment (the latter method has only been successfully used to ratify the 21st amendment).

Can the US Supreme Court reverse its own decisions?

Yes, they can.However, if the decision involves a question of federal or constitutional law and the case is petitioned to the US Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, and if the U.S. Supreme Court grants certiorari, and if the U.S. Supreme Court rules differently from the state supreme court, the state is bound by the U.S. Supreme Court decision under the doctrine of Stare decisis, which is abbreviated from a Latin phrase that means "let the decision stand."
