Stephen Douglas was eager to develop west of his home from Illionois. As a result, he suggested to form two new territories : Kansas and Nebraska. However, many Southerners rejected the idea because under the Missouri Compromise, the territories would be admitted as free states. Douglas then proposed that the upcoming territories would be decided by popular sovereignty, earning the South's favor and thus, removing the Missouri Compromise.

Stephen Douglas, a Democrat from Illinois, helped push the bills for the Compromise of 1850 through congress
Stephen Douglas's plan, particularly through the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, effectively undid the Missouri Compromise by allowing the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery through the principle of popular sovereignty. This approach contradicted the Missouri Compromise, which had prohibited slavery in those territories north of the 36°30′ parallel. As a result, the act reignited sectional tensions and led to violent conflicts, known as "Bleeding Kansas," as pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed to influence the territories' decisions.

I'm pretty sure Stephen A. Douglas DID NOT pass the Compromise of 1850. He only agreed about the idea of a railroad starting from Chicago to the Pacific Ocean. Douglas's plan failed anyway, but just to be clear that Stephen A. Douglass was NOT in any part of passing the Compromise of 1850, I promise you! Yea you are wrong, he helped pass the law through congress by splitting them up into 6 (later 5) separate measures. few members were prepared to vote for all of them, but from different elements Douglas hoped to mobilize a majority for each.
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 This effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise, which had prohibited slavery north of the 36°30′ parallel.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 Comprimise was a plan so that Missouri could become a state and the balance of slave states and free states stayed balanced
