Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The Compromise of 1850 included admission of California as a free state, a strengthened Fugitive Slave Act, and the organization of the territories of Utah and New Mexico with the slavery question left to popular sovereignty; it did not admit New Mexico as a slave state.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- The Compromise of 1850 was a package of congressional measures (sponsored by Henry Clay and enacted with Stephen A. Douglas’s help) intended to ease sectional tensions.
- Major components: California admitted as a free state; Utah and New Mexico territories organized with slavery to be decided by popular sovereignty; a stricter Fugitive Slave Act; Texas boundary settlement and federal assumption of Texas debt.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Option: popular sovereignty in Utah — The Compromise specifically created the Utah Territory and allowed settlers to decide on slavery (popular sovereignty). This was included.
- Option: the Fugitive Slave Act — One of the central and controversial statutes was a strengthened Fugitive Slave Act, forcing federal support for the return of escaped enslaved people. This was included.
- Option: admission of California as a free state — California was admitted to the Union as a free state under the Compromise. This was included.
- Option: admission of New Mexico as a slave state — The Compromise did not admit New Mexico as a slave state. Instead New Mexico was organized as a territory with no immediate designation as free or slave; the status was to be settled by its inhabitants (popular sovereignty).

3) Intermediate facts (no numeric calculations needed)
- New Mexico became a territory; its slavery policy was not fixed by Congress as pro-slavery. Texas relinquished its claims to parts of New Mexico in exchange for federal compensation.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- Because the Compromise explicitly avoided declaring New Mexico a slave state and left the matter to territorial organization and popular sovereignty, “admission of New Mexico as a slave state” is not one of its statutes.

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- They are actually provisions of the Compromise: Utah popular sovereignty (included), Fugitive Slave Act (included), California free state (included).

Conclusion: Therefore the statute not established by the Compromise of 1850 is admission of New Mexico as a slave state, matching the provided answer.
