Answer 1

Answer:

Options:  A. The slave trade was abolished in Washington, DC.

B. California was admitted to the Union as a free state.  

E. A new and more comprehensive fugitive slave law was enacted.

Explanation:

The Compromise of 1850 tried to settle conflicts over slavery in new territories joined after the Mexican-American War. Allowed slavery in Washington, but banned the slave trade. It admitted California as a free state with no legal slavery, left New Mexico and Utah to decide themselves. It made it easier for slave owners to reclaim runways following the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.
