Popular sovereignty failed in Kansas due to intense political and social conflict between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions, leading to violence known as "Bleeding Kansas." The influx of both groups seeking to influence the outcome created chaos and lawlessness, undermining the democratic process. Additionally, fraudulent voting and intimidation further skewed the results, rendering the principle of popular sovereignty ineffective in establishing a peaceful resolution.
