Question

4. Which compromise admitted California as a free slave state and instituted the

Fugitive Slave Act?

Answer 1

The compromise of 1850

Step-by-step explanation:

The Compromise of 1850 consists of five laws passed in September of 1850 that dealt with the issue of slavery and territorial expansion. In 1849 California requested permission to enter the Union as a free state, potentially upsetting the balance between the free and slave states in the U.S. Senate.
