Allowing resident in the columbia District to vote. The presidential electors are determined by the number of senators and representatives in which the state possesses. But since the didn't have any representatives, they got the least electoral votes a state can have: three. This expanded popular sovereignty because now that D.C. can vote, It makes presidential election more of a fair choice along with other political agreements.

War would have been a National vote, allowing citizens to decide whether to go to war with someone or not. 916, this failed amendment was sent to Congress. Of course, this proposal didn’t go very far. This power wasn’t given to the people for many safety reasons, (forcing others to say yes, possibly recurring wars, total destruction of the U.S, etc.) preventing popular sovereignty from expanding.
