Explanation:

Question 1

The headlines involve Missouri Compromise (1820), California's admission (1850), and Kansas - Nebraska Act (1854). All these events were related to whether new states would be free or slave states, which is about the extension of slavery. Option A is about tariffs, C about minority voting rights, D about public education, none related.

Popular sovereignty before Civil War was about letting the people of a new territory decide if slavery would be legal there. Option A is secession, B is nullifying federal laws, D is overturning Supreme Court decisions, none match.

Between 1803 - 1850, as US acquired land, the main controversy was about whether slavery would expand into these new territories. Option A is about education, B about natural resources conservation, D about railroads, not related.

Answer:

B. extension of slavery
