The answer is C. Federal law requiring states to assist in the capture and return of slaves. The contentiousness of the fugitive slave act in the Compromise of 1850, was an attempt to prolong the inevitable war that was coming. Emerson's revulsion to the act was made in the context of the fact the men making these decisions were not illiterate savages, but learned men who could read and write and supposedly knew what is was to be human and should have abhorred (hated) anything to do with slavery.

Following Gideon v. Wainwright, what happens to people who have been accused of a crime and cannot afford to pay an attorney to
DaniilM [7]
They are assigned an attorney by the court.
Clarence Gideon had been charged with a burglary in Florida, and the judge said he could not appoint an attorney for Mr. Gideon because the crime of which he was accused was not a capital offense.  Gideon claimed he was entitled to be represented by counsel, but the judge did not agree.  Gideon was convicted and went to state prison.  From there, he appealed to the US Supreme Court in a suit against the Secretary of the Florida Department of Corrections.  (By the time the case came before the Supreme Court, that was Louie L. Wainwright, thus "Gideon v. Wainwright.")  
The Supreme Court agreed with Mr. Gideon's claim, and since then, all persons, whether in state or federal court, are entitled to the right to counsel and an attorney is appointed if they cannot afford to hire their own.
