Stephen Douglas preferred state control over federal control, particularly in the context of popular sovereignty. He advocated for the idea that territories should decide for themselves whether to allow slavery, reflecting his belief in local governance and the rights of states. Douglas's approach aimed to resolve contentious issues like slavery by allowing states to make their own decisions, rather than imposing a federal mandate.
