Best Answer

A rather desperate attempt to manage the admission of California as free soil.

To placate the South, Congress agreed to a new Fugitive Slave Act, where official slave-catchers were employed to hunt down runaways.

That law backfired badly, attracting many recruits to the Abolition movement.

It decreed that California would join the Union as free soil, but slavery would be permitted in New Mexico and Utah.

How did the Constitutional Conversation reach a compromise on the issue of slavery?

They really didn’t. The compromise came in counting the slaves as 3/4 of a person instead as a whole person because it set the number of House members. Had the southern states been able to count slaves as a whole person they would have had more power in the government, but the issue of slavery itself was left to the future.
