1. Which situation was affected depending on whether a state was admitted as a free state or a slave state? (1 point) A. representative in congress B. number of supreme court justices C. amount of western land available for settlement D. existing treaties with Native American tribes
The correct answer is C. This largely has to do with the Compromise of 1850, a series of bills that decided what territory (acquired from the Mexican-American War) would become free states or slave states. For example, one of the outcomes was that California was admitted as a free state.
