    The correct answer is the Compromise of 1850.

    The Compromise of 1850 temporarily solved the issue of slavery in the new territories gained in the Mexican Cession. The compromise stated that the territory of California would become a free state and the Utah and New Mexico territories would use popular sovereignty to decide on the issue of slavery. Popular sovereignty is a concept that revolves around the people of that territory voting on whther or not they wanted slavery.
