4. When the Republican Party was formed, its members were most strongly committed to
O A. avoiding a civil war by compromising with the South
O B. preventing the spread of slavery into new territories
O c. adopting a constitutional amendment to end slavery
OD. preserving the balance between free and slave states

Answer :

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The Republican Party was not in favor of extending slavery into new territories and hence they were strongly committed to it.

And this is the reason why Kansas-Nebraska Act gained controversy as it was giving rights to the city dwellers to permit slavery in their respective territories  in lieu of a vote.

Hence, option B is correct
