The two actions by the Federal Government that were attempts to preserve the Union in the face of a bitter quarrel over slavery are Missouri Compromise and Compromise of 1850. Option B is correct.

The Missouri Compromise constituted the legislation that admitted Maine to the United States as a free state along with Missouri as a slave state, thus maintaining the balance of power between North and South in the United States Senate.  

The Compromise of 1850 consists of five laws passed in September of 1850 that addressed the issue of slavery.
