Territorial sovereignty debate and congressional power echoed
In a heated exchange on federal control of U.S. territories, speakers urge Congress to grant broad power to dispose of lands while defending popular sovereignty. Debates touch on slavery, polygamy, and domestic institutions, with reference to territorial governance and potential prohibitions by Congress. A long, dense discussion links legal authority to territorial rights and public sentiment.
