how does this quote show Stephen A. Douglas's point of view: “That Constitution guarantees to the people of every State the right to have slavery or not have it…each State being left free to decide for itself,"

nikkixmarie:

@JustSaiyan could you help please

JustSaiyan:

Is there any more information provided?

nikkixmarie:

yes hold on

nikkixmarie:

Douglas’s point of view regarding the constitution is that he thought people should have their own personal view on the constitution and have a choice to do what they think is right.

JustSaiyan:

He strongly believes in freedom of choice, so his point of view would be to allow people slavery if they wanted. So he would have had slaves if he thought it was right.

nikkixmarie:

thanks, that perfect.
