What are some Pros and cons of popular sovereignty in the U.S. during the 1800's?
Based on the times in which this slogan was created, and remembering that the US Supreme Court in its 1857 ruling on Dred Scott and slavery, popular sovereignty appeared to be the "democratic way" to settle issues of slavery in the Territories that would in time become States.
As it was seen after the US Civil War, it required an amendment to the US Constitution to officially abolish slavery.
The problems that popular sovereignty created, in Kansas due to the Kansas - Nebraska Act, was bloodshed in conflicts between pro slavery people and anti slavery people. It's difficult to make a case for any "cons" of allowing people the right to vote on issues. The main problem was the US Supreme Court with its rulings in favor of keeping slaves in the class of "property".
The lawlessness in Kansas was the result of Federal troops non enforcing Federal Laws in the US Territories.
Taken in a much broader sense, the United States elects government officials on the basis of popular sovereignty. If fighting conflicts result in the course of elections, the duty of law enforcement is to enforce laws against violence.
All this must be taken in the context of the 1800's.

What are the pros and cons of the compromise of 1850?
The Compromise of 1850 aimed to ease tensions between slave and free states by admitting California as a free state, allowing popular sovereignty in New Mexico and Utah, and enacting a stronger Fugitive Slave Law. Pros included the temporary reduction of sectional conflict and the preservation of the Union for a time. However, the cons included the anger it provoked among abolitionists and free states due to the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law, which intensified divisions and ultimately contributed to the Civil War. Additionally, the compromise failed to provide a long-term solution to the issue of slavery in the expanding United States.
