The correct answers are A)  It seemed to have worked well in the Compromise of 1850 and B) It allowed citizens of a territory to decide the slave issue.

Popular sovereignty was o well-supported as a just and fair way to settle the slavery question in that it seemed to have worked well in the Compromise of 1850 and it allowed citizens of a territory to decide the slave issue.

The political confrontation between free states and non-free states was one of the biggest political issues of that time. Southerners knew that their economy was based on slavery to produce crops in their plantations. That is why they opposed so much to the Northern abolitionist ideas. So popular sovereignty was the concept that allowed to settle the slavery issue in the United States at least, momentarily, in that the citizens were the ones that should have to decide.
