Detailed explanation-1: -The Kansas-Nebraska Act upheld all of the following EXCEPT: the Missouri Compromise of 1820.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise, created two new territories, and allowed for popular sovereignty.

Detailed explanation-3: -Known as the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the controversial bill raised the possibility that slavery could be extended into territories where it had once been banned. Its passage intensified the bitter debate over slavery in the United States, which would later explode into the Civil War.
