Answer 2

A. The support of the Compromise of 1850 in the state of Georgia

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points that needed to be understood about the compromise:

- After the Mexican-American war, United States acquire 3 new states: Utah, New Mexico, and California.

- At that time, United States were divided into two category :The slave states (which allow slavery) & the free states (which make slavery illegal)

So, after acquiring 3 new states, the existing states fought over whether they should consider the new states as 'slave states' or 'free states'. The compromise of 1850 that is supported by the Georgia Platform bring up the idea that they need to divide the new states. California will be given the status as a 'Free states' while New Mexico and Utah will be considered as a 'slaves states'.
