Henry Clay's plan to end the deadlock over California's statehood, presented in 1850 as part of the Compromise of 1850, involved several key proposals. He suggested admitting California as a free state while simultaneously allowing for the possibility of popular sovereignty in the territories of New Mexico and Utah, which would let the residents decide their slavery status. Additionally, Clay proposed the abolition of the slave trade in Washington, D.C., and the strengthening of the Fugitive Slave Act. This compromise aimed to balance the interests of both free and slave states and reduce tensions between the North and South.
Henry Clay proposed a series of legislative compromises known as the Compromise of 1850 to resolve the deadlock over California's statehood.
