1. The correct answer to the first question is D. It encouraged southern commitment to expand slavery.

To understand this answer, it is important to know the context of the Fugitive Slave Law. The Fugitive Slave Law was a part of the Compromise of 1850, which aimed to settle disputes between Northern and Southern states over the issue of slavery.

The Fugitive Slave Law required that escaped slaves be returned to their owners, even if they had reached free states. This law was strongly supported by the Southern states as it protected their property rights in slaves and aimed to deter slaves from attempting to escape. However, it was met with resistance and resentment in the North, as many people opposed the institution of slavery.

The law led to several consequences that affected the relationship between the North and the South. It deepened fear and anger in the North because it forced ordinary citizens to help enforce the law or face legal consequences. This increased tension between the North and the South as abolitionists and sympathizers with escaped slaves in the North were seen as aiding and abetting criminals in the eyes of the Southern states. Additionally, the law also exposed the realities of slavery to many people in the North who may not have previously been directly confronted with its brutality and inhumanity. This further deepened Northern opposition to slavery.

2. The correct answer to the second question is A. The Fugitive Slave Law.

The Compromise of 1850 consisted of several measures aimed at resolving tensions between the North and the South over the spread of slavery. One of these measures was the Fugitive Slave Law, which required the federal government and citizens of free states to assist in the capture and return of escaped slaves to their owners. This law was particularly disadvantageous to the North as it increased tensions, deepened opposition to slavery, and forced people in free states to participate in the institution of slavery by helping to capture and return escaped slaves.

In contrast, the other options listed in the question benefited the North. The admittance of California as a free state reinforced the growing power of anti-slavery forces in the North. The end of the slave trade in the District of Columbia was seen as a victory for abolitionists, as it reduced the presence of slavery in the nation's capital. Additionally, the designation of New Mexico as a non-specific territory on the issue of slavery allowed for the potential expansion of free states, which was favorable to the North.
