House of representatives was determined by the states population and the senate had two senators as per the proportion of the state. This deal strike a balance between small and highly populated large states.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!
The part that particularly angered Northerners was that if they did not enforce the act, they were subject to jail time or a fine. Even if Northerners opposed slavery, they could still be neutral in terms of what they do to help slaves or not. The Fugitive Slave Act forced them to go against their own beliefs with this potential jail time or fine, which really angered them.
Have a wonderful day! :D
