Answer :

The terms of the Compromise of 1850 included:

1. California would become a free state.
2. Slavery would not be restricted in the new territories other than California.
3. The slave trade, but not slavery itself, would be banned in Washington, D.C.
4. The Fugitive Slave Act was strengthened, requiring citizens in free states to assist in capturing runaway slaves.

These terms were part of the compromise designed to address the contentious issue of slavery between the North and the South in the United States during that time.
