Northerners responded to the Fugitive Slave Act by enacting legislation opposing it.

Further Explanation:

The Fugitive Slave Act was part of the Compromise of 1850. The goal of the Compromise of 1850 was to ease tensions between Northerners and Southerners.

To ensure that slave owners were able to retrieve their "property" (aka slaves), Congress enacted a stronger fugitive slave law. A fugitive is a person who escapes a situation. In this case, it refers to slaves who run away from their plantations and try to escape to free states in the North. To prevent this from happening, Congress made a law stating that Northern states (who already outlawed slavery) must help to catch and return run away slaves to their owners.

Many Northerners did not like this law (especially those were abolitionists). This is why some Northern states made laws against the Fugitive Slave Act. This only caused more tensions between the North and South. These tensions ultimately culminated in the beginning of the American Civil War.
