What law, which based the decision of slavery on popular sovereignty (the people decide through majority vote) within the territory, heightened tensions between slavery supporters and abolitionists because they hurried west to settle to gain control of the territory that ultimately resulted in fighting (showed the failure of popular sovereignty). this was the question 8 options: land ordinance. dred scott act. kansas-nebraska act. compromise of 1850.

Kansas-Nebraska Act. :)

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
