Answer 1

The Wilmont Proviso, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and the Dred Scott decision all relate to the issue of slavery, but the Compromise of 1850 is the option that best fits with Lincoln's position. The Compromise of 1850 was a set of laws aimed at addressing the issue of slavery and its expansion into new territories. Lincoln was not in favor of the compromise because he believed that slavery should not be allowed to expand.
