Explanation:

Question 1

The Compromise of 1850 was a set of laws addressing issues related to slavery, including the admission of California as a free state, the Fugitive Slave Act, and the status of slavery in Utah and New Mexico territories. Tariffs were more related to earlier compromises like the Tariff Compromise of 1833. So the issue related to the Compromise of 1850 is slavery.

Most northerners were against the expansion of slavery into new western territories. The North generally had a growing abolitionist movement and opposed the spread of slavery, while the South wanted to expand it. So the statement is false.

In the mid - 1800s, the "balance of power" in the Senate was maintained by having the same number of free and slave states, as each state had equal representation in the Senate. This was a key factor in the political battles over slavery expansion. So the statement is true.

Answer:

B. slavery (assuming the first option is A. tariffs, second is B. slavery)
