Final answer:
The admission of Kansas as a free state was not a provision of the Compromise of 1850.
Step-by-step explanation:
Henry Clay presented a legislative proposal to the Senate in January 1850, known as the Compromise of 1850. One provision of the Compromise was the admission of California as a free state. However, the admission of Kansas as a free state was not a provision of the Compromise of 1850.
Other provisions included the organization of the rest of the Mexican Cession without restriction on slavery or along the lines of popular sovereignty, the abandonment of Texas' claim to territory in New Mexico, the abolition of the slave trade in the District of Columbia, and the adoption of a stronger fugitive slave law without regulating the interstate slave trade.
