Question 2 • S1S: US History A (E1202 - AG)

What was a purpose of the Compromise of 1850?

Answer
A
It was used to admit California into the union.
B
It settled on popular sovereignty in Kansas.
C
It caused the Fugitive Slave Act to be struck down.
D
It made the slave trade legal in Washington, DC.

Explanation

The Compromise of 1850 included California’s admission to the Union as a free state. It also included measures such as a stronger Fugitive Slave Act and ending the slave trade in Washington, DC. Popular sovereignty in Kansas was established later by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, so choice B is not correct.
