Answer 1

• Passage of a law to return escaped enslaved people to their enslavers

• Ban on slave trade in the nation's capital

Step-by-step explanation:

The Compromise of 1850 was one of the compromises signed between the Slave and Free states so that their conflict over slavery would not escalate.

The Compromise of 1850 amended the Fugitive Slave Act such that it was easier to return escaped enslaved people who had fled to the North, back to their owners in the South.

The Compromise however, also had an Act that abolished the slave trade in Washington DC which was a small win for the Abolitionists.
