Calhoun Jackson ClayDo states have the right to nullify a federal law they do not agree with?
Divisions over slavery in
territory gained in the
Mexican-American
(1846-48). War were
resolved in the
Compromise of 1850. It
consisted of laws
admitting California as a
free state, creating Utah
and New Mexico
territories with the
question of slavery in
each to be determined by
popular sovereignty,
settling a Texas-New
Mexico boundary dispute
in the former’s favor,
ending the slave trade in
Washington, D.C., and
making it easier for
southerners to recover fugitive slaves.
