Which are the five laws in the compromise of 1850?

In other words, the people would pick whether the states would be free or slave. 3.The Republic of Texas gave up lands that it claimed in present day New Mexico and received $10 million to pay its debt to Mexico 4.The slave trade was abolished in the District of Columbia. 5. The Fugitive Slave Act made any federal official who did not arrest a runaway slave liable to pay a fine. This was the most controversial part of the Compromise of 1850 and caused many abolitionists to increase their efforts against slavery.
