Question

which was a result of the compromise of 1850?
? slavery laws stayed the same.
? the slave trade was banned in the district of columbia.
? land claimed by texas was added to california.
? california was not added to the union.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the Compromise of 1850:

1. Option about slave laws staying same: The Compromise of 1850 included the Fugitive Slave Act, which changed how runaway slaves were handled, so slave laws did not stay the same. Eliminate this.
2. Option about slave trade banned in DC: The Compromise of 1850 did ban the slave trade (but not slavery itself) in the District of Columbia. This is a key provision of the compromise.
3. Option about Texas land added to California: Texas gave up claims to New Mexico (not California) as part of the compromise. Eliminate this.
4. Option about something not added to the Union: California was admitted as a free state in the Compromise of 1850, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

The slave trade was banned in the District of Columbia (the option with this text)
