Congress passed a strict fugitive state law.
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".
The Compromise of 1850 included provisions affecting the District of Columbia by abolishing the slave trade, though slavery itself remained legal. This compromise aimed to ease tensions between free and slave states, as it allowed the federal government to maintain control over the capital while addressing the concerns of both sides. Additionally, it reflected the growing conflict over slavery in the United States leading up to the Civil War.
