Stephen Douglas' resolution of Henry Clay's slavery plan involved the introduction of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, which allowed settlers in those territories to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery through the principle of popular sovereignty. This effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise, which had prohibited slavery north of the 36°30′ parallel. Douglas believed that this approach would promote unity and democracy, but it ultimately intensified sectional conflict and contributed to the emergence of the Republican Party. The act led to violent confrontations in Kansas, known as "Bleeding Kansas," as pro- and anti-slavery factions clashed.
The Missouri Compromise was issued by Henry Clay to serve as a resolution to the slavery issue.

Stephen Douglas was instrumental to the Compromise taking place, a bill which reduced sectional conflict between slave- and free-states temporarily by helping redefine the status of different territories acquired in a previous war. However, he then opened the topic of slavery back up a few years later with a new act which opened some territories to slavery.

Henry Clay. He had help from Stephen Douglas
The Compromise of 1850 included five separate bills that passed Congress to defuse tension between the slaves states of the South and the free states of the North. Henry Clay devised the Compromise and passed it with the help of Stephen Douglas.
One resolution that was NOT proposed by Henry Clay was the abolition of slavery. While Clay was instrumental in proposing compromises related to slavery, such as the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850, he did not advocate for its abolition. His focus was primarily on maintaining the Union and finding middle ground between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions.
