Explanation:

• First question: In the 1850s, the Kansas - Nebraska Act allowed for popular sovereignty regarding slavery in the Kansas territory. Pro - slavery and anti - slavery forces clashed violently, a period known as "Bleeding Kansas". The other options are incorrect: the Kansas Range War was a later cattle - related conflict; the Dred Scott Rebellion is not a real event (the Dred Scott case was a legal case); and there was no "Kansas Civil War" in the 1850s.
• Second question: The Republican Party was formed in the 1850s. One of its main platforms was opposition to the expansion of slavery. It was not formed to help rich people (that was more associated with some aspects of the Whig Party in a different context), not to protect slavery (that was the stance of the pro - slavery Democrats in the South at the time), and the Mexican War (1846 - 1848) was over before the Republican Party's formation in the mid - 1850s.
• Third question: In the Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) case, the Supreme Court ruled that no state or territory could ban slavery. It stated that African Americans (enslaved or free) were not citizens and that Congress had no power to regulate slavery in the territories. The Court did not rule tariffs unconstitutional (that was a different set of cases); it did not prevent Kansas from becoming a state (Kansas became a state in 1861); and it did not rule slavery unconstitutional (it did the opposite in terms of the power of states/territories to ban it).

Answer:

• First question: Bleeding Kansas.
• Second question: To oppose slavery.
• Third question: The Supreme Court ruled that no state or territory could ban slavery.
