Congress passed a strict fugitive state law.
The Fugitive Slave Act was the provision of the Compromise of 1850 that was designed to appeal to slave states. It allowed for the capture and return of fugitive slaves who had escaped to free states. This provision aimed to address the concerns of slave states by improving the enforcement of slave owners' property rights.
Balancing of slave and free states.
The Great Compromise provided a bicameral legislature with both a representation based on population (the House of representatives; which appealed to larger states), and an equal representation (the Senate; which appealed to smaller states, with lower populations).
The terms of the Missouri Compromise of 1820 were effectively overridden with the Compromise of 1850, which opened the territories of Utah and New Mexico to settlement by slave owners as well as those who did not own slaves. One part of the new Compromise was the establishment of the Fugitive Slave Act which helped escaped slaves be returned to their "owners".
