Imagine that you are an elected representative in 1850. would you support the comprromise of 1850? why or why not

I would not support the compromise of 1850 because it supported and strengthened slavery. Although, the north received a new and big state, it rather enforced slavery even more in the south. Therefore, supporting the compromise would not be in my interest.
