Answer:

The Compromise of 1850 had 5 laws that had delt with the issue of slavery. 1849 Cali. requested permission to enter Union as free state, upsetting the balance between the free and slave states in the U.S. senate. Senator Henry Clay introduced series of resolutions in Jan. 29, 1850, in an attempt to seek compromise and avert a crisis between North/South. As part of Compromise of 1850, Fugitive Slave Act was amended and Slave trade in Washington D.C was abolished. Cali. entered the Union as free state and territorial government was created in Utah. In addition, an act was passed settling boundary dispute between Texas and New Mexico that had also established territorial government in New Mexico.
