How did the Compromise of 1850 affect the issue of enslavement?

It enforced the previous ruling of the Missouri Compromise and extended the boundary line across the entire United States.

It admitted California as a free state, but continued to allow enslavement in Washington, D.C.

It set up popular sovereignty in the states of Kansas and Nebraska.

It removed the Fugitive Slave Act, allowing enslaved people in the North to become free.​
