The correct answer is B) It effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise by allowing territories north of the 36°30' parallel to decide on slavery through popular sovereignty.The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 allowed the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether they would allow slavery within their borders, effectively repealing the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The Missouri Compromise had prohibited slavery north of the 36°30' parallel, except for the state of Missouri. By allowing popular sovereignty to decide the issue of slavery in the new territories, the Kansas-Nebraska Act effectively nullified the restrictions set by the Missouri Compromise.
