Answer 1

d. vote on whether to allow slavery

Step-by-step explanation:

Popular sovereignty was established to allow the people living in U.S. territories to vote on whether or not to allow slavery there. This is because the government did not have full control over the territories , as they were not states in the Union, giving the people full authority on if slavers should be permitted there or not
