When did the fugitive slave law begin and end?
There had been an earlier Fugitive Slave Law, almost from the start. But it had fallen into disuse. With the Compromise of 1850, Congress was not able to offer the South much hope of new slave-states. So they tried to compensate with a big crackdown on runaways. Under the new Fugitive Slave Act, every citizen became an unpaid slave-catcher, obliged to report anyone who looked like a possible runaway, on pain of a heavy fine. The North reacted badly to this, and Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' as a protest against it. I don't know whether this Act was ever repealed. But after the start of the Civil War, it too would have fallen into disuse, and been invalidated by the 13th Amendment in 1865.
How was the fugitive slave law of 1850 strengthen?
It was a stronger version of the old Fugitive Slave Law which had fallen into disuse. Congress was having to make a big gesture of appeasement to the South, to compensate for the increasing difficulty of creating new slave-states. The new Act backfired badly. The Northern public resented being treated like unpaid slave-catchers, and 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' was written as a protest against it.
What does fugitive slave law of 1850 mean?
It concerned the arresting of runaways and returning them to their owners - replacing an older Fugitive Slave Law that had fallen into disuse. This one was much tougher, and it obliged every citizen to report anyone who looked as though they might be a runaway, on pain of a heavy fine. It was deliberately aggressive, because Congress needed to make a big gesture of appeasement to the South, since it could not hold out much hope of allowing new slave-states. They had to balance-up the Compromise of 1850, which was mostly favourable to Northern interests.

Who disproved Lamarck's theory of use and disuse?
If I'm not mistaken the Law of Use and Disuse was disproved by August Weisman (scientist) several years after the death of Darwin (late 1800's). Weisman thought that if the law of use and disuse was true, he could prove it by cutting off the tails of mice for 20 generations in a row. No matter how many mice he cut the tail off of, the babies were born with a tail. His experiment proved that the law of use and disuse was false.
What is the explanation for the law of use and disuse?
The law of use and disuse, proposed by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, suggests that organs in an organism's body will develop with increased use and deteriorate with disuse. This theory has been largely discredited in evolutionary biology, as traits are now understood to be inherited through genetic information rather than acquired through individual actions during an organism's lifetime.
