Which act did Salmon P Chase oppose?

Affordable Care Act
Civil Rights Act
Fair Labor Standards Act
Answer
The Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854 repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820, effectively allowing slavery to spread into the northern territories of the Louisiana Purchase above the 36° 30′ parallel. Salmon P. Chase, a prominent antislavery politician and later Chief Justice of the United States, strongly opposed the act, viewing it as a violation of the Missouri Compromise and a step backward in the fight against the expansion of slavery.
