Many Northerners were happy that free states now had more representatives in Congress. However, many were also upset with the Fugitive Slave law.
This law, that was part of the Compromise of 1850, made it so that any slave that escaped to the North must be returned to their owner in the South. Many northerners thought this was unfair and did not want to follow this law. This is because almost all northern states had outlawed slavery by this point and time.
Under the articles of confederation, if Virginia had ten thousand citizens and Delaware had five thousand citizens, then the number of representatives that Virginia and Delaware would have is 2. For every state having less than 30 thousand citizens, the number of representatives would remain the same.
Around the world and beginning in the 1830s in the u.s. the growth accelerated "during the <span>industrial Revolution". This revolution made the incomes of most social classes except the elite soar in ways they had not before, creating upward mobility.</span>
