The correct answer is letter C

The 1850 Compromise refers to a set of legislative measures proposed by Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky and approved unanimously by Congress and the Gazette as laws. Senator Henry Clay was referred to as "the great compromiser." The laws were passed to ease the tension created by the outstanding issues surrounding slavery that threatened to dissolve the union.
