Answer:

Popular Sovereignty

Step-by-step explanation:

Popular Sovereignty is a political doctrine holding that it is the people who create, determine and sustains the nature of their government, decides who represent them, and decides on issues that affect them. So, when a state decides for themselves whether to be a free or a slave state, it is exercising its popular sovereignty.
