In the Freeport debate, Abraham Lincoln challenged Stephen Douglas on the apparent contradiction between his support for popular sovereignty and the Dred Scott decision, which ruled that Congress could not prohibit slavery in the territories. Lincoln sought clarification on how Douglas could advocate for the right of territories to decide on slavery while also accepting the Supreme Court's ruling that effectively nullified that right. Douglas responded by asserting that local laws could still be enacted to limit slavery, thereby maintaining his stance on popular sovereignty despite the Dred Scott decision. This exchange highlighted the tensions between legal rulings and democratic principles in the context of slavery.
