Answer:

D. The state supported the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act that banned northern states from protecting escaped slaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Compromise of 1850 consisted of five (5) separate bills or laws passed by the Congress of the United States of America in attempt to address issues (disputes) relating to slavery and territorial expansion by the free states during the Mexican-American War of 1846.

Sequel to the Compromise of 1850, the Georgia Platform was executed on the 10th of December, 1850 by a Georgia Convention as a statement of unwavering support for the abolishment of sectional slavery and refusal of the abuse of the southern rights by the north.

Hence, the adoption of the Georgia Platform helped delay the Civil War by accepting the Compromise of 1850. One reason the state adopted the Georgia Platform was because the state supported the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act by Congress in 1793, that banned northern states from protecting escaped slaves.
