Passed on September 18, 1850 by Congress, The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was part of the Compromise of 1850. The act required that slaves be returned to their owners, even if they were in a free state. The act also made the federal government responsible for finding, returning, and trying escaped slaves.

Allowed slave owners to retreive slaves even if they were in "free states" and anyone who harbored runaway slaves would be fined

I don't think this was fair because if the slave made it to a free state they should be free but on the other hand, they were considered property and it would be the owners retrieving "property" kinda like if a dog ran away and was retrieved

Fourteen Points: 
- Called for military to reduce size
- Called for alliances to be made known to the public

The most important difference is that the Fourteen Points called for leniency on Germany, while the Treaty of Versailles called for more harsh punishments on Germany.
